I had big problem with my american bank with these T.T. payments. first the lady transcribed the numbers out of sequence which took me a few weeks before i realized it and corrected and re-sent it, it still would not go through so i recalled it and just today re-sent with a largher order. any one had problem like this , please inform me and advise.thanks, martin

Quoting from [xtiml]:

Now a days sending TT payment is very easy


  You go to your Bank

  Give the  Funds transfer application and fill the following

 Benificiaries Bank and its SWIFT CODE

  benificiary name, address, account number anfd the amount to be tranfered


 Now-a-days even you can transfer money electronically from your home/office by

e- transfer


You are from USA and find difficulty in transfering money: it is very pity

Replying to [xtiml]: When you initiate to send a TT thru any USA based bank they will take your account ifno and $ value you are wiring and repeat it back to you from their computer screen. It sounds like you either gave them the wrong info or did not even do this tt as you said.

In 10 years of wiring and accepting wires worldwide I have had ZERO problems in the banks sending and receiving $$.

Nope, never had.  But it sounds like you need a better business oriented bank.

To ensure correct informations provided for sending money through TT, it is good to understand the SWIFT format.

Let say you want to send money for USD3,500,000.00 from your bank, Union Bank of California, Los Angeles to Ranger who maintains an account with Citibank New York for purchase of 3 units of computer servers. The format will look like this:

MT 100 (CUSTOMER TRANSFER)

FM BANCAL33
TO CITIUS33


20: /transaction reference number
002570109TT
(This field is to indicate the TT transaction number which is provided by the sending bank)

32A: /value date, currency and amount
070412 USD 3,500,000.00
(This field is to indicate the date the TT is sent, ISO currency code and the amount in figures)

50: /ordering customer
Xtml
Coconut Beach
Los Angeles, California
(The originator or applicant)

52D: /ordering bank
BANKCAL LA
(The bank that receives the instruction from applicant and send out message)

57D: /account with bank
CITIUS33
(The bank where Ranger maintains his account)

59: /beneficiary customer
0-123456-11-435-3
(The Ranger’s account number. You may also put in the full name and address)

70: /details of payment

71A: /details of charges

This is a simple format with a straight forward instruction to remit payment to the beneficiary. I'm sure Ranger would be happy to receive the amount.
