Money changes hands every day, and sometimes things can go wrong.
Instead of losing your patience navigating the waters of bank transfers, work with your private financial partner to get your money back quickly. Understanding how to wire money and how it might go awry will help you save time and money.
In this article, the team at Currency Converters will walk you through the basics of a wire transfer and what can go wrong in that process. We’ll also go over the advantages of working with a private financial partner, compared to a bank. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with our team. We’re happy to help.
What Is a Wire Transfer?
Before we dive into what might go wrong with your transfer, let’s cover the basics — what is a wire transfer?
A wire transfer is a transfer of funds between two different banks or financial institutions. Wire transfers are done through the SWIFT network of financial communication. SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. It’s a global cooperative that was founded in Belgium in 1973 and provides an international standard for financial messaging services.
When you transfer funds via wire, your money is often transferred between various intermediary institutions to get from your bank to its desired destination. Typically, your funds will have to pass through 1 – 3 other banks, depending on where you’re sending it. The SWIFT network allows these various banks to talk to one another and communicate about your transfer.
Unfortunately, as you’ll learn in the rest of the article, the process of communicating between banks can be time-consuming — and people will occasionally get their wires crossed. Let’s find out how that can happen.
What Might Go Wrong in an International Wire Transfer?
Wire transfers don’t “bounce” as cheques sometimes do because banks verify the transfer funds before approving an international money transfer. While it eliminates most potential problems, a few things can still happen throughout the process:
- You can supply a wrong or inaccurate account number.
- A money transfer may be rejected.
- The payment may be delayed.
- A clerk may have skipped a beat during manual processing.
There are various reasons where a wire transfer might not arrive on time. Most of these issues will just cause delays in your wire transfer. For example, many countries have begun to increase their rules and regulations around anti-fraud and money laundering. You don’t need to worry about this — these rules are in place to keep your money safe — but this is one factor that can cause the process to take longer than it typically would in the past.
That being said, if your wire transfer doesn’t go through, it can be a big deal for you and you will want to get the situation resolved immediately. Knowing the origin of the problem will help you solve it more quickly — if you work with a trusted and accountable company.
Banks will solve the problem for you eventually, but we can get your money back faster and more efficiently. Here’s how we do it:
How Bank Wire Transfers Work
Banks will put a tracing service on all money transfers, so they can see where it went and what happened. This goes through each bank that participates, letting them communicate with each other about the status of the payment.
Some banks will issue a Federal Reference number that is associated with your specific transfer. You can use this reference number to track the progress of your funds and see whether they’ve arrived or not. You may have to pay an additional amount for this service.
While this ‘tracking’ is important, it does not result in instant information. If your transfer has not arrived or been deposited, the investigation process through the banking system can take several weeks to resolve, as it depends on the recipient of the inquiry to voluntarily respond with information.
Another drawback to the investigation process is the cost. Banks perform their due diligence in tracing funds, but this can require additional fees as they coordinate with each other to find the original sum — and these fees are collected from the sender without consultation. Tracing a payment will come out of your pocket instead of theirs.
The tools are in place with banks, but it comes at an extra price and can cost you crucial time that you just cannot spare while travelling abroad.
How Can You Recover Money From Bank Wires Gone Wrong?
You may not be able to avoid paying the bank that extra fee for tracing the electronic money transfer, since you will need their services to retrieve the original sum. However, you can get your money back far earlier than by letting them complete the process on their own.
While you may want to wait a few days to see if the problem resolves itself, you don’t want to wait too long. If you require urgent funds for an urgent business transaction, a travel emergency, or an overseas move, you don’t want to have to wait weeks for that issue to be resolved.
If you need to get your money back quickly, our team can help.

That’s a shrewd answer to a tricky qutiseon
I did not receive a wire transfer at Bank Mandiri that was verified as being sent by the US social security department. I filed a complaint with the social security office, and the FBI because I live in Indonesia, the land of magic.
I have complained to the Bank Mandiri personal who just says that the money did not come.
The transfer was successful every month for 3 years and then bam. Maybe a personnel change.

I wired some money on June 19 from some information I got through an agency that a relative is using to get his luggage sent to me. The agency didn’t ggive me the complete information. I went back to the bank that afternoon to give them the complete information. The wire had already gone out. Now I can not get my money back because the Wells Fargo Bank has closed the account and the Copart Inc won’t send it back.
I had a money wire go wrong because of not complete information from an agency. The beneficiary name was Wells Fargo Bank because that was the only name given to me. It’s now been almost 3 weeks since it has been wired. The Wells Fargo has declined the request and where the money went into has refused to send it back. I have been to my bank and called Wells Fargo. All I have been is getting the run around.

Hello there,
I initiated an international wire transfer from US to a bank (ICIC Bank Ltd.) in India. This was initiated on the 26th of May and it was supposed to have reached by the 3rd of June 2022. But the funds have not reached the beneficiary bank until today the 8th and when I called the Bank (Digital Federal Credit Union) whose services that I leveraged, they are saying that there is nothing they can do but to send an email to the beneficiary bank and wait for a reply. Is there a way to get the money back? I am really concerned now.

Hi
How is it possible that an international transfer ended up in a totally different country/bank?
I have acquired the swift identification and showed it to my bank. The problem is that the money was traced and found in Belgium and my bank cannot see anything regarding this issue in their system. The Belgian bank is impossible to contact and even though they have my money they didn’t send it back to the sender’s account.
What should I do?

Regarding cryptocurrency recovery and finding a misplaced Bitcoin wallet, I must express my gratitude to Cybernet surveillance. Recently, I found myself in a predicament where I had lost a significant amount of bitcoin, approximately $1000,000, due to a fraudulent investment. I desperately tried to seek help from different companies who claimed to be hackers and help me recover my coins only to end up being scammed again. Thanks to my friend Collins who referred me to a legit firm of hackers Cybernet surveillance and their handling of my case was very professional and very transparent through the whole process and always a step ahead of the scammers. I managed to recover my funds from all those scammers and am here to testify and help anyone else who might have the same issues.

Contacting Muyern Trust Hacker was surprisingly straightforward. Unlike the cloak-and-dagger portrayals in movies, there were no secret handshakes or hidden passages involved. A simple email exchange and a phone call later, I found myself discussing the details of my situation with their team. Their compassionate yet no-nonsense approach put me at ease, assuring me that I was in capable hands. Trust forms the bedrock of any healthy relationship. It’s the glue that holds couples together through thick and thin. In my case, the suspicions I harbored were threatening to erode this foundation of trust. Seeking the truth was not only about confirming my suspicions but also about reclaiming the trust that had been shaken. Remember, seeking the truth is a personal journey that requires careful consideration and, at times, professional assistance. While it may be a difficult path to tread, it is essential for one’s well-being and the future of their relationship. After all, as the saying goes, knowledge is power, even when it comes to matters of the heart. I am glad that I found out about my wife’s infidelity with the assistance of Muyern Trust Hacker.
