# Create Wire

Initiates a Wire Transfer. Wires can only be sent to accounts created and verified via Create Counterparty.
Initiating outgoing wire transfers isn’t available by default and must be enabled — please contact your Jiko point of contact to learn more.



When implementing our Wire Transfer entry screens in your application's UI, you must include the following instructions for your end-users: _“By using this service, you hereby acknowledge that sending wires to third parties presents an increased risk of fraud, and that as per the terms of your Commercial Bank Account Agreement (the "Agreement"), you agree that our security measures are commercially reasonable methods of providing security against unauthorized Funds Transfers, and that you shall be bound by any request for a Funds Transfer received by the Bank, whether or not authorized, issued in your name and accepted by the Bank in compliance with the security measures.”_
