Answer 1

A telegraphic transfer can usually be done within 24 hours bank to bank PROVIDED all payment information is provided correctly and in full and the bank that is to do the transfer actually does it straight away, delays in telegraphic transfers being received can usually be traced to incorrect information and/or banks that are incompetent and /or slow in sending off the transfer

Answer 3

What you require for a wire-transfer would vary from country to country. Assuming you are doing a cross-border wire transfer from the US, your best bet is to get in touch with the person to whom you are sending money, and obtain the wire transfer instructions from them.

If your bank has a direct banking relationship with the recipient's bank, then the instruction set would be pretty simple, which would consist of the following:

Name of the Recipient:

Recipient's Bank Account Number:

Recipient's Branch Code of Routing Number

Recipient's Bank's Name

Recipient's Bank's Address (typically the address of the Branch where the Recipient has his/her account).

In the event your bank does not have a direct relationship with the recipient's bank, a correspondent bank is utilised, in which case the SWIFT instructions can slightly vary. An example would be:

Name of Correspondent Bank:

Account Number in Correspondent Bank:

Branch Code/Routing Number of Correspondent Bank:

Correspondent Bank's Address:

For Further Credit to:

Name of the Recipient:

Recipient's Bank Account Number:

Recipient's Branch Code of Routing Number

Recipient's Bank's Name

Recipient's Bank's Address (typically the address of the Branch where the Recipient has his/her account)
