How it works — step by step

Domestic wire transfer

1. Provide the beneficiary’s full name, bank name, account number, and any required routing information.
2. Specify the payment amount and funding account. Confirm any remittance details to include with the transfer.
3. Authorize the transfer using secure authentication. You will receive a confirmation and reference number.
4. Funds are routed through the domestic payment network and typically become available to the beneficiary the same business day, subject to cutoffs and recipient bank processes.

International wire transfer

1. Provide beneficiary details: full name, bank name, beneficiary account number or IBAN where applicable, and intermediary bank details if required.
2. Indicate the currency and amount to be delivered. Choose whether fees and exchange costs are to be borne by sender, beneficiary, or shared.
3. Authorize the transaction with required authentication. The bank will process required compliance and sanctions screening prior to transmission.
4. The payment is routed via correspondent banks and international payment networks. Delivery times vary by destination, currency and local banking practices.

Requirements and documentation

To ensure smooth processing, have accurate beneficiary details and any supporting documentation ready. For certain transactions — especially higher-value or business-related payments — additional documentation may be required for regulatory or compliance reasons. RBC Bank (Georgia), N.A. adheres to applicable anti-money laundering and sanctions regulations and may request identification, source-of-funds information, or invoice supporting materials.

Timelines, cutoffs and processing

Processing times depend on the type of transfer, destination and cut-off times. Domestic wires initiated before the daily cutoff are generally executed the same business day. International transfers are subject to correspondent bank schedules, currency availability and local clearing processes, and may take one to several business days. Cutoff times and processing windows vary; initiate payments early in the day for time-sensitive transactions.

Fees, rates and transparency

Wire transfer fees depend on whether a transfer is domestic or international, the currency involved, and whether correspondent banks are used. In addition to transaction fees, international transfers may incur currency conversion costs. RBC Bank (Georgia), N.A. provides clear disclosures about applicable fees and will indicate whether intermediary or beneficiary bank charges may apply. Clients can choose fee options that align with their payment priorities — speed, cost efficiency, or beneficiary convenience.

Security, compliance and fraud prevention

Security of customer funds and compliance with legal requirements are top priorities. Every wire request is screened through automated and manual processes to detect fraud, sanctions risks and suspicious activity. Established authentication measures protect the initiation of transactions, and encrypted channels protect data in transit. If unusual activity is detected, the bank may pause processing and contact the sender for verification.

Tracking, confirmations and reconciliation

After initiation, you receive confirmation details and a transaction reference number. For international wires, traceable message identifiers are provided where available so you can follow the payment’s progress. Detailed transaction records support reconciliation and accounting needs, and are accessible through account statements or the bank’s electronic banking tools.

Tips for successful transfers

• Verify beneficiary account details carefully — incorrect numbers or names can delay or divert payments.
• Include complete remittance information to assist beneficiary reconciliation.
• For international payments, confirm whether the beneficiary bank requires an IBAN, SWIFT/BIC or other local routing details.
• Plan for time zone differences and local holidays that may affect processing timelines.
• Keep transaction references and confirmations until the beneficiary has acknowledged receipt.
