How It Works

Initiating an international wire at Arvest Bank involves a few clear steps. First, provide the beneficiary’s full legal name, account number or IBAN (where applicable), the beneficiary bank’s name and swift/BIC code, and the destination country. Specify the currency and amount to be sent, and indicate who will pay associated fees. Our staff will verify the details, confirm exchange rates if currency conversion is needed, and advise you of estimated delivery time and total cost. Once authorized, your transfer is routed through correspondent networks and the beneficiary’s bank, with status updates available upon request.

Security and Compliance

Arvest follows stringent compliance procedures to meet international regulatory standards. This includes identity verification, transaction screening, and adherence to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing rules. These safeguards protect both senders and recipients, reduce the risk of fraud, and ensure that transfers meet legal requirements. Customers may be asked to provide supporting documentation for the transfer purpose, particularly for larger amounts or transactions to certain jurisdictions.

Timing and Fees

Processing times depend on destination, currency and the correspondent banking chain. Many transfers to major markets are completed within one to three business days, while transfers to other regions may take longer. The total cost of an international wire can include a sending fee, possible intermediary bank fees, and receiving charges applied by the beneficiary’s bank. Arvest staff will outline expected fees up front and explain options for who pays these fees to help you manage costs.

Required Information

• Sender’s account details and authorization
• Beneficiary’s full name and address
• Beneficiary bank’s name, address and swift/BIC or routing code
• Beneficiary account number or IBAN where applicable

Tips for Faster, More Reliable Transfers

• Double-check beneficiary details to avoid delays caused by incorrect account numbers or bank codes.
• Provide clear instructions on who bears intermediary and receiving fees to ensure the receiving amount meets expectations.
