 TITLE: What Is the Difference Between ACH and Wire Transfer? CONTENT: What Is a Wire Transfer?\n------------------------\nA wire transfer is an electronic payment service used to move money between accounts. This method can be used to transfer money for a same-day arrival, but the expedited service comes at a premium.\nThere are two types of wire transfers: domestic and international. International transfers are also called remittance transfers, international wires or international money transfers, and must be for more than $15 when sent from the United States to another country.\nIt's not uncommon for consumers to use wire transfers to make hefty one-time payments that require same-day processing for transactions related to real estate. But be mindful that same-day limits on fund transfers may apply. END
