What is Wire?

A US domestic wire moves US dollars between American bank accounts as an individually processed transfer with same-day finality, over the Federal Reserve Banks’ Fedwire Funds Service or The Clearing House’s CHIPS network. Poplin pays out to the United States over Wire, settling the same business day at the latest.
