SWIFT Transfer Recall After Investment Fraud: How It Works

In investment fraud, money is often sent abroad by international transfer (SWIFT). In transfers that are noticed early, a recall request can offer a possibility, although a limited one.

⚖️ Recall

A recall request made through the sending bank depends on the cooperation of the receiving bank and on the money not having been withdrawn yet. For the process, see the section on tracing money taken abroadTR.

Warning: The chance of a recall falls quickly over time; acting fast once the transfer is noticed is important.

🔍 Factors That Affect the Outcome

The time of the transfer, the receiving bank's policy and what has happened to the money all affect the chance of a recall.
