Living in a country with Foreign Exchange Controls?




* International Wire Transfers may also be subject to Foreign Exchange control restrictions, depending on the jurisdiction from which the transfer is being made. For International Wire Transfers, Daily and Transactional limits are established on the amount of money you can transfer. Your branch or Relationship Manager will work with you to ensure that the limits set for your International Wire Transfer transactions are appropriate for your specific requirements.

* It is very important that you enter the information on your Beneficiary and Receiving Bank correctly. If you enter incorrect information (account numbers, addresses, SWIFT Bank Codes), the payment may not be processed or may be processed to an unintended account. The Bank is not liable for incorrectly initiated transactions.


*It is also important that you remit all documentation required by Foreign Exchange Control regulations in your country. Documentation must be submitted to the Bank within one business day of initiating your online Wire Transfer. The Bank is also committed to hold International Wire Transfer transactions in queue for two (2) working days. Payments for which documentation is not received by this time will be cancelled.

* To utilize our International Wire Transfer Service and to apply for your RSA SecurID Tokens, you must contact our Customer Service Agents, your Relationship Manager or International Banking Centre and provide them with the accounts numbers you would like to use for making International Wire Transfers. Domestic and International Corporate Banking Customers should contact their Relationship Manager/International Banking Centre to provide account and user access information.
