Wiredmoney LLC SWIFT/BIC code

What WRLLUS31 means for a payment to Wiredmoney LLC

WRLLUS31 and WRLLUS31XXX are the short and the long form of the same bank identifier, and both lead to Wiredmoney LLC in Houston,tx. Every bank on the SWIFT network uses BIC codes to direct payments between countries to the right institution. In daily life you mostly come across it on international invoices, in payment forms and in the bank details of Wiredmoney LLC customers.

On this page you can read how the code means, when it matters and what else you need for a transfer to or from Wiredmoney LLC. Keep in mind that the BIC only identifies the bank, not the person: the account number or IBAN takes care of that.

When will the money arrive at Wiredmoney LLC?

A SWIFT payment typically takes anywhere from one to several business days. Payments made late in the day or just before weekends and holidays usually start the next business day. Compliance checks on larger or unusual payments may also add some delay, even when all details are correct.

A growing number of banks are connected to SWIFT gpi. Each gpi transfer gets a unique reference, the UETR that banks can use to trace it. Save the payment confirmation – you will need it for any trace request.

A missing payment is traced by the sending bank. As a recipient, it helps to check your account for a partial amount.

About this information

Our SWIFT/BIC directory is compiled from public sources and we update it periodically. It is possible that information on this page is out of date. The figures we show are based on what is in our directory and not on information from Wiredmoney LLC itself.

For a payment that matters, always confirm the BIC with Wiredmoney LLC or the recipient. GoldexPay is not affiliated with Wiredmoney LLC. If you notice something that is out of date, we appreciate a message.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

Fraudsters often send fake invoices with changed bank details, sometimes in an email that looks completely genuine. A real SWIFT code tells you nothing about whether the request is genuine: scammers use real codes of real banks.

Never rely on contact details from the same email that announces the new account. Watch out for time pressure, odd spelling or a sender address that is slightly off. If a payment was sent to the wrong account, call your bank right away – speed improves the chance of getting it back.

Scams also target the receiver: someone sends more than agreed and wants you to return the extra. A screenshot of a transfer is no proof.

US Dollar (USD) and conversion costs

Most accounts at Wiredmoney LLC are typically held in USD, the national currency. If you send another currency it has to be converted somewhere along the way – by your bank, by Wiredmoney LLC or by a bank in between. Each conversion costs the amount – usually through the rate rather than a fee.

Who converts the payment matters. In many cases you pay less if you send USD straight away through a transfer service that converts near the mid-market rate rather than letting the receiving bank convert.

The USD rate changes throughout the day, so the amount you see is usually only valid for a short time. If you pay regularly, small differences in the rate make a real difference over time.

8 or 11 characters: WRLLUS31 versus WRLLUS31XXX

The structure of a BIC never changes: four characters for the institution, a two-letter country code and a two-character location code, plus an optional branch code. In this case, the 8-character core is WRLLUS31.

XXX at the end of WRLLUS31XXX is not a missing value or an error: it indicates the main office of Wiredmoney LLC. Certain payment forms insist on 11 characters, in which case you simply enter XXX after WRLLUS31.

Type the code in one piece, in capitals and without separators. Look out for O versus 0 and I versus 1; they are easy to mix up.

Sending money abroad from Wiredmoney LLC

If you transfer money to another country from Wiredmoney LLC, the visible fee is only part of what you pay. There is the transfer fee, possibly fees charged by intermediary banks along the way and, above all, the margin on the exchange rate.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate, not in the fee: the bank converts at a rate that includes a margin. Compare the rate you are offered with the mid-market rate – the rate you find on financial news sites; the gap is what conversion costs you.

Specialist money transfer services often use a rate near the mid-market rate with clearer fees. On GoldexPay we compare what recipients receive across services, which makes the cheapest option easy to spot. Choosing a specialist does not require leaving Wiredmoney LLC: you simply pay the service from your account.

Receiving money from abroad at Wiredmoney LLC

For a transfer from abroad at Wiredmoney LLC, the person paying you needs not just the SWIFT code. What they need is: the account holder’s name, account number or IBAN, WRLLUS31XXX and, for some countries, your postal address.

The sender’s bank might request the bank address of Wiredmoney LLC; the head office in Houston,tx is usually fine. A typo in the IBAN is more trouble than you might think, so copy the details from your online banking.

Money from abroad will not always land for the full amount. Correspondent banks can take a fee, Wiredmoney LLC may charge for incoming payments, and when currencies differ, an exchange rate margin comes on top. On invoices, you can state who bears the costs, so that nobody is left short.

Head office or branch code at Wiredmoney LLC?

Wiredmoney LLC has 2 different SWIFT/BIC codes. One of them is the head office code; the rest identify branches.

In most cases there is no need to pick a branch: payments sent to WRLLUS31XXX reach Wiredmoney LLC without problems. Branch codes are only needed if the account holder explicitly asks for it, which is more common for corporate accounts and specialised services.

When in doubt, ask the person you are paying which code their bank gave them. Branch codes are sometimes changed or retired when banks reorganise, so a code from an old document is not always valid.

Is WRLLUS31 still correct? How to check

The safest source for a SWIFT code is the bank details provided by the recipient. Check that code against WRLLUS31 on this page; if they differ, ask before you pay.

A wrong SWIFT code may lead to delays, a returned payment or additional charges for investigation. A mistake in the IBAN or account number is a bigger problem, so check that just as carefully.

Many banking apps validate the format of IBANs. Where available, a name check before sending adds an extra layer of safety. A small test payment is worth it for a large first payment despite the extra fee.
