The TT method is an electronic transfer of funds that was widespread in the 1990s. Telegraphic transfer is also referred to as Telex transfers, or TT. A TT telegraphic transfer is an electronic funds transfer method that is utilized for overseas wire transactions. It is commonly used for Clearing House Automated Payment System (CHAPS) transfers.
Typically, a telegraphic transfer is completed within three to four business days, depending on the transfer’s location and destination, including the country and any currency exchange requirements, such as currency rates. Telegraphic transfers are also known as telex transfers (TT) or, more generically, wire transfers or electronic funds transfers.
