Telegraphic Transfer
A telegraphic transfer is an instruction from the customer, transmitted electronically to credit a nominated Payee’s bank account in a specified currency located overseas. Telegraphic transfers can be used for settling transactions in a foreign currency on a particular day. The Payee ordinarily receives value for the transaction on the day that the customer purchases the foreign currency.
They are generally a faster form of payment than drafts as the payee normally receives payment within 24 to 48 hours of dispatch of the telegraphic transfer. Payment can be made in most major currencies between local and overseas organisations or persons.
If one wants to send money to an account overseas by a telegraphic transfer one must provide Thomas Cook with the MUR cash or office cheque equivalent to the amount of foreign currency one wishes to send.
