Domestic and International Wire Transfer Options

Pinnacle Bank Texas offers both domestic and international wire services for personal and business customers. Wires are the fastest way to send guaranteed funds, making them essential for real estate closings, large purchases and cross-border payments.

Domestic Wire Transfers

Domestic wires move funds between US financial institutions via the Federal Reserve's Fedwire system. Funds are typically available to the recipient the same business day when submitted before the 3:30pm CT cutoff. Domestic wires are irrevocable once processed, making them the preferred method for real estate closings, large vendor payments and time-sensitive transactions where certainty of delivery matters.

To send a domestic wire, you will need the recipient's full legal name, their bank's ABA routing number, their account number and the exact dollar amount. Personal account holders can initiate wires at any Pinnacle Bank branch or by calling 972-555-0100. Business clients with treasury management can send wires through online banking.

International Wire Transfers

International wires are processed through the SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) network and typically arrive within 1-3 business days, depending on the destination country and intermediary bank requirements. Pinnacle Bank Texas can send wires in US dollars to virtually any country with a functioning banking system.

For international wires, you will need the recipient's full name and address, the receiving bank's SWIFT/BIC code, the bank's full name and address, the recipient's account number or IBAN (for European and many other countries), and in some cases an intermediary bank's SWIFT code. Our wire desk team can help identify the correct routing details for your destination.

How to Send a Wire Transfer

The wire process varies slightly depending on whether you hold a personal or business account.

Personal Account Holders

Visit any Pinnacle Bank Texas branch with a valid government-issued photo ID and the recipient's banking details. Our wire desk will prepare the transfer, verify your identity and confirm the details before submission. You can also initiate a wire request by calling 972-555-0100 — a callback verification step is required for phone-initiated wires as an additional security measure.

For real estate transactions, your title company or closing agent will provide specific wire instructions. Always verify wire instructions by calling the title company directly at a known phone number — never rely solely on emailed instructions, as wire fraud schemes often target real estate closings. The FTC provides guidance on protecting yourself from wire fraud.

Business Account Holders

Business clients with treasury management access can initiate wires directly through the online banking portal. The system supports saved wire templates for repeat recipients, reducing entry errors and speeding up the process for recurring payments. Dual-authorization is required for wire amounts exceeding your company's single-approval threshold — typically set at $10,000 but customizable.

For high-volume wire senders, Pinnacle Bank offers batch wire processing and standing wire instructions. These features are configured during your treasury management onboarding and can be adjusted at any time by contacting your relationship manager.

Wire Transfer Security and Fraud Prevention

Wire transfers are irrevocable once processed. Pinnacle Bank Texas takes multiple steps to protect you from unauthorized wires and social engineering fraud.

Every wire request — whether submitted in branch, by phone or online — requires identity verification. For phone requests, we perform a callback to a number already on file. For online wires, dual-authorization ensures no single user can send funds without a second approval. Device fingerprinting and IP monitoring add additional layers of fraud detection.

If our fraud team detects unusual wire activity on your account, they will contact you directly before processing the transfer. We strongly recommend setting up wire transfer alerts so you receive immediate notification whenever a wire is initiated or received on your account.

Common wire fraud schemes include business email compromise (BEC), where criminals impersonate vendors or executives to redirect payments, and real estate closing scams, where fraudsters send fake wire instructions to homebuyers. Always verify wire instructions through a separate, trusted communication channel before sending funds.

Pinnacle Bank Texas participates in the FDIC-supervised fraud reporting network and cooperates fully with law enforcement investigations. If you suspect you have been the target of a wire fraud attempt, contact us immediately at 972-555-0100 and file a report with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center.

Receiving Wire Transfers at Pinnacle Bank Texas

Whether you are receiving payment from a client, closing on a property or getting funds from family abroad, here is what you need to know.

To receive a domestic wire, provide the sender with Pinnacle Bank Texas's ABA routing number, your full account number and your full legal name as it appears on the account. For international incoming wires, also provide our SWIFT/BIC code. Contact 972-555-0100 or visit any branch to obtain your specific wire receiving instructions.

Domestic incoming wires typically post to your account within hours of receipt during business days. International incoming wires may take 1-2 business days after the funds arrive at our correspondent bank. You will receive an account alert when the wire posts to your account.

Incoming wire fees are $15 for both domestic and international transfers. There is no fee to receive wires into business accounts that carry a treasury management package with wire services included. Ask your relationship manager about bundled pricing for accounts that regularly receive wire transfers.

For questions about a wire that has not arrived as expected, our wire desk can trace the transfer using the Fedwire reference number (domestic) or SWIFT reference number (international). Call 972-555-0100 during business hours for wire tracking assistance. Most tracing requests are resolved within 24 hours.
