Template Guide

How to Use the Wire Transfer Review Template

When to Use This Template

Deploy this template every time your bank processes an outbound international or domestic wire transfer requiring compliance review.

  • Before releasing wires exceeding single-transaction or daily velocity thresholds
  • When sanctions screening flags customer, beneficiary, or intermediary bank
  • During post-transaction audit trails for FATF and BSA compliance documentation

What This Template Covers

This template produces a complete wire transfer compliance review capturing transaction details, risk assessment, and approval authorization.

  • Transfer summary with customer identity, beneficiary bank details, and amount
  • OFAC and sanctions screening results with watchlist and PEP checks
  • Maker-checker approval workflow with release decision and audit timestamps documented

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Most wire review failures stem from incomplete documentation, skipped verification steps, or missing dual-control approval evidence.

  • Omitting callback verification exposes banks to business email compromise fraud
  • Failing to screen intermediary correspondent banks violates OFAC compliance requirements
  • Missing maker-checker timestamps invalidates audit trail during regulatory examinations
