💡 Accountant's Note
The bank charges a fixed or percentage-based fee for executing an international transfer. The fee is recognized at the point of transfer execution (IFRS 15 point-in-time). Correspondent bank charges may be additional and are disclosed as either SHA (shared) or OUR (sender pays all).
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
In Oracle FLEXCUBE FT, outward remittances generate SWIFT MT103 messages. The fee is charged per the schedule of charges in the product definition. For OUR option transfers, correspondent bank charges are estimated and pre-deducted. AML screening must clear before the SWIFT message is sent.
⚠️ Audit Flags
CBJ AML regulations require all international transfers above JOD 10,000 to be reported. Wire transfer fees must comply with CBJ's retail banking fee guidelines. Auditors verify that AML screening was completed before transfer execution and that beneficiary information is complete (SWIFT compliance with FATF standards).
📄 Required Documentation
Customer transfer instruction, AML screening clearance, SWIFT MT103 confirmation, fee billing advice, and CBJ AML reporting (for transfers above threshold).
