Best Answer

The responsibility of a Wire Transfer Agent is as follows:

  • To do a KYC (Know Your Customer), this means collecting and verifying all the information about the person who is making the transfer. This would typically include verifying your ID, and keeping a copy of that ID.
  • In the event, the ID supplied is not satisfactory the Transfer AGent has to then obtain further information from you and/or other forms of identification and perhaps copies of utility bills to verify your name and address.
  • In some cases, they may automatically take a photograph of you via their in-house cameras.
  • They are to document your wire transfer information:
  • Record WHO is SENDING the money (all fields)
  • Record TO WHOM is the money being SENT TO (all fields)
  • The Type of Transfer (case, wire, credit load, etc.)
  • The Exchange Rate Applicable
  • The Transfer Charges Applicable.
  • Get the form signed from you, and provide you with a receipt of the same.
