FAQ
Is wire always faster than ACH?
Not always. Same-day cutoffs, bank review, weekends, holidays and recipient-bank processing can change the real timeline.
Does the cheaper route always win?
No. A deadline, failed name match, transfer limit or fraud hold can cost more than the posted fee difference.
Does this tool provide banking advice?
No. It is a planning checklist and simple calculator. Verify official bank disclosures and consider professional help for high-value transfers.
