Webinar: Managing Wire Transfer Exposure

Managing Wire Transfer Exposure: Controls, Limits and Exception Handling

Strengthen the decisions behind every wire. Learn how to evaluate controls, set meaningful limits and handle exceptions with clear authority, consistent procedures and documented review.

October 20, 2026 · 1:00–2:00 PM ET

Turn wire-transfer policies into consistent daily decisions.

Wire transfers can create operational, fraud, compliance and financial exposure when verification is weak, limits do not reflect risk or exceptions bypass established controls. This webinar gives financial institution professionals a practical framework for recognizing those gaps and strengthening oversight.

Participants will examine customer authorization, payment verification, approval authority, transaction and aggregate limits, available-funds review, exception handling, monitoring and governance. The discussion connects policies with daily procedures so employees can make consistent, well-documented decisions and recognize when additional review is necessary.

Through practical examples and common scenarios, attendees will explore how to evaluate wire-transfer practices, respond to unusual requests and reduce exposure across the payment process.

Evaluate the safeguards behind the payment.

Build effective controls

Examine customer authentication, independent verification of payment instructions, dual approval and separation of duties. Identify weak points that can allow errors or fraudulent requests to move forward.

Set and monitor limits

Review how customer activity, transaction size, daily volume and available funds inform exposure. Consider how limits are established, monitored and reviewed as relationships change.

Manage exceptions

Explore approval authority, supporting documentation and escalation for unusual, urgent or over-limit requests. Strengthen tracking and management review of recurring exceptions.
