My wire transfer

[soumitss]

My wire transfer to a supplier overseas got blocked. Bank says it’s OFAC related but won’t give me details. What should I do first?

Contact your bank’s compliance team and request specific details about the block – they should provide a reference number and explain what triggered it. Ask if it’s your name, the recipient’s name, or something else. Gather all documentation for this transaction: invoice, contract, supplier information. Check if the recipient or any intermediary bank appears on OFAC’s SDN list yourself. I found a step-by-step guide on the website ofacblockedfundslawyers.com that explains the unblocking process. If it’s a false positive, you’ll need to submit proof that you’re not the sanctioned party. Keep copies of everything you submit.
