Return Requests
If your platform has sent an outgoing wire that it wishes to recall, you can use our Wire Return API to send an outgoing wire return request for an existing wire transfer to the financial institution that received the original wire.
The Wire Return API can also be used to accept incoming wire return requests received from financial institutions for existing wires.
Return Reasons
The wire return can be sent at any time after the original transfer was received. We currently only allow incoming wire returns for the following reasons:
- the beneficiary account number is incorrect
- the amount of the transfer is incorrect or invalid
- the originator requested the return
- the transfer was a duplicate
- the transfer was fraudulent
- the transfer couldn't be applied due to technology issue
- the transfer was not justified
Currently, these are the only reasons supported for initiating a wire return request. If there is a reason you feel should be supported that is outside the scope of the reasons above please email us at developers@column.com to see if it makes sense to add.
