Wire Transfers

Wires represent electronic funds transfers between two accounts at different financial institutions settled over the Fedwire system. Wire transfers are much faster than ACH transfers and can settle in a couple of hours, with the majority settling within 24 hours. Wires are, however, more expensive and cannot be reversed once settled. The cutoff time for Victor wires can be bound here: Cutoff Times

Success - Wire transfers are marked as being in a 'Success' state after being processed by the originating bank.
Failed - Transfers are marked as Failed when an issue occurs while being processed.
