International Transfers

Single large transfers executed cleanly across major banking corridors, with both ends pre-cleared.

What this covers

The work, in substance

A single seven-figure transfer should not take three weeks and four follow-ups. The reason it often does is that nobody pre-cleared the paperwork before the wire was sent. We do exactly that, on every transaction.

We coordinate originating and beneficiary banks before money moves so settlement is the routine outcome, not the surprise.

Considerations

Risks we address

The non-obvious factors we explicitly plan for so they don't surface as surprises later.

Source of funds

The single largest cause of delay; we prepare it once, properly, up front.

Intermediary banks

Hidden fees and routing risk are quoted explicitly before execution.

Sanctions screening

Counterparties and jurisdictions are pre-screened to avoid mid-flight holds.

Time-zone coordination

Settlement windows are planned across both market opens.

In Practice

An anonymised example

Scenario

A client needed to wire $8M from London to Singapore inside a deal window of 36 hours. We pre-cleared documentation with both banks the day before, executed at market open, and confirmed credit in under 6 hours.

Results
  • Settlement well inside the deal-window deadline
  • Zero compliance hold-ups on either side
  • Reusable documentation pack saved for future flows

FAQ

Common questions

With pre-cleared documentation, major-corridor transfers usually settle the same day or next business day. The wire itself is fast — what slows transfers is paperwork that wasn't aligned in advance, which we eliminate.
