How It Works

A domestic wire is an instruction to move funds electronically between banks within the United States. To initiate a wire transfer at Atlantic Union Bank, the sender provides the necessary beneficiary information and authorized instruction to debit the sending account. We validate the request, apply fraud and compliance checks, and send the payment message through domestic payment rails. The beneficiary bank receives the message and credits the recipient’s account according to its posting rules. A confirmation receipt is provided to the sender when the wire is transmitted.

Who Can Use Domestic Wire Transfer

Our service is available to personal checking and savings customers, business accounts, trusts and other eligible account types. Certain account relationships and balances may be required for online initiation. For business clients, wire may be integrated into treasury and cash management services for streamlined processing and reporting.

Information Required to Send a Wire

• Sender’s full name and account number
• Beneficiary’s full name as shown on their account
• Beneficiary bank name
• Beneficiary bank routing number (ABA)
• Beneficiary account number or unique identifier
• Purpose or description of payment (as required)
• Contact details for sender and/or beneficiary for verification or trace

Timing and Cut-Offs

Wire requests received before the daily cut-off time are typically processed the same business day. Requests submitted after cut-off, on weekends or federal holidays are held and processed on the next business day. Specific cut-off times and posting expectations vary; customers are encouraged to confirm deadlines for urgent payments to ensure same-day delivery.

Fees and Limits

Fees for domestic wires are disclosed transparently and depend on account type and delivery channel (in-branch, online, or by phone). Outgoing and incoming wire fees may apply. Limits on the dollar amount per transaction, per day and per account can be established to manage risk and suit customer needs. Customers with higher volume or treasury relationships may be eligible for negotiated pricing and customized limits.

Security and Compliance

Atlantic Union Bank employs rigorous anti-fraud and compliance controls to protect customers and the banking system. All wire requests undergo authentication checks and transaction monitoring for suspicious activity. The bank adheres to federal regulations regarding customer identification and recordkeeping. For high-value or unusual transactions, additional verification steps may be required to safeguard funds and mitigate fraud risk.

Tracking and Confirmation

Senders receive confirmation that the payment message has been transmitted from Atlantic Union Bank. If a beneficiary does not receive the funds as expected, the bank can initiate a trace to determine payment status and location within the payment network. Traces and investigations are handled promptly to reconcile timing, return or recall requests when permitted.

Common Use Cases

• Real estate closings and escrow disbursements
• Business supplier or vendor payments
• One-time payroll or contractor payments
• Large personal transfers between financial institutions
• Time-sensitive settlements and legal payments

Best Practices and Tips

• Verify beneficiary information carefully to avoid delays or misdirected funds.
• Confirm cut-off times for same-day processing, especially for urgent payments.
• Keep receipts and reference numbers for tracking and reconciliation.
• Notify the beneficiary in advance of the expected payment and any reference details they should expect to see on their statement.
• Consider dual control procedures for business accounts to reduce fraud risk when authorizing large transfers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I cancel a wire after it’s been sent? A: Once a wire has been transmitted to the beneficiary bank, it is generally difficult to cancel. Atlantic Union Bank will make every reasonable effort to recall funds, but successful recovery depends on the recipient bank and timeliness of the request.

Q: How long does an incoming domestic wire take to post? A: Incoming domestic wires typically post the same business day upon receipt, subject to the recipient bank’s processing rules.
