Frequently Asked Questions

U.S. wire transfers are electronic funds transfers that securely move money in real time between bank accounts within the United States. These transfers typically use high-value, time-sensitive payment networks like the Federal Reserve’s Fedwire® Funds Service or the Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS®). 

While both are used for high-value payments, Fedwire® is operated by the Federal Reserve and supports over 4,000 participants. CHIPS®, run by The Clearing House, serves a smaller group of major financial institutions and is favored for its liquidity optimization, allowing banks to settle large volumes with lower reserve requirements. Volante supports both Fedwire® and CHIPS® in a single, cloud-native platform. 

Domestic wire transfers sent before a bank’s internal processing cutoff are transmitted and settled the same business day, often within a few hours. Transfers initiated after the cutoff, on weekends, or bank holidays are processed the next business day. Fedwire® provides immediate settlement; CHIPS® offers high-speed, liquidity-optimized net settlement during business hours. 

Yes, wire transfers are a highly secure method of moving funds because they’re transmitted through regulated, encrypted networks, such as the Fedwire® Funds Service and CHIPS®, which are closely monitored and designed to prevent unauthorized access or tampering.
