Wire Reference
The Twisp wire processor sends and receives Fedwire Funds Service wires in ISO 20022.
Wire Resources
See each of the sub-pages in this reference for details about the corresponding wire resource. Each resource is accessible via the GraphQL API.
Configuration
Wire configuration defines accounts, the Fedwire endpoint, IMAD sequence and decisioning.
File Operations
Process inbound Fedwire files and generate archives of outbound ones.
Outbound Wires
Send a wire with the WIRE_OUTBOUND workflow and settle it on the Fed's reply.
Inbound Wires
Decide and post wires received from the Fed, and return them.
Key Concepts
- One message per file. Each Fedwire message is one ISO 20022 envelope in one file. You process inbound files one at a time. Outbound files arrive together in one tar.gz archive per generation.
- Configuration connects your accounts, routing number, the sponsor bank's Fedwire endpoint and the inbound decisioning mode.
WIRE_OUTBOUNDsends a wire:CREATE→SUBMIT→SETTLE, orREJECT/CANCEL, then optionallyRETURN.WIRE_INBOUNDreceives a wire:PENDINGorSETTLE, then optionallyRETURN.- Replies settle outbound wires. An outbound wire settles only when the Fed's pacs.002 accepts it. Until then the funds are held in the pending layer.
- UETR is the end-to-end id of a wire. Replies match their wire by UETR, and by message id (IMAD) when they carry no UETR.
- IMAD is the message id Twisp assigns to each message it sends: the Fedwire business day, the sponsor's 8-character endpoint id and a 6-digit sequence.
Messages
| Message | Direction | Twisp's action |
|---|---|---|
| pacs.008 customer credit transfer | outbound | Generated for each WIRE_OUTBOUND wire |
| pacs.008 customer credit transfer | inbound | Decided and posted with WIRE_INBOUND |
| pacs.009 FI credit transfer | inbound | Decided and posted with WIRE_INBOUND |
| pacs.002 payment status | inbound | ACSC/ACCC settles the outbound wire; RJCT rejects it |
| admi.002 message reject | inbound | Rejects the outbound wire it names |
| pacs.004 payment return | inbound | Returns the outbound wire; with no match, credits the exception account |
| pacs.004 payment return | outbound | Generated for each returned inbound wire |
| Other messages, such as camt.056 and broadcasts | inbound | Recorded with no action |
Transaction Codes
Every wire transaction code posts two entries: the customer account (accountId) against the settlement account.
| Code | Layer | Customer account | Used by |
|---|---|---|---|
SYS_WIRE_OUTBOUND_PENDING_DR | PENDING | Debit | Outbound CREATE |
SYS_WIRE_OUTBOUND_PENDING_VOID_CR | PENDING | Credit | Outbound SETTLE, REJECT, CANCEL (releases the hold) |
SYS_WIRE_OUTBOUND_SETTLE_DR | SETTLED | Debit | Outbound SETTLE |
SYS_WIRE_OUTBOUND_RETURN_CR | SETTLED | Credit | Outbound RETURN |
SYS_WIRE_INBOUND_PENDING_CR | PENDING | Credit | Inbound PENDING |
SYS_WIRE_INBOUND_PENDING_VOID_DR | PENDING | Debit | Inbound SETTLE or RETURN from PENDING |
SYS_WIRE_INBOUND_SETTLE_CR | SETTLED | Credit | Inbound SETTLE |
SYS_WIRE_INBOUND_RETURN_DR | SETTLED | Debit | Inbound RETURN from SETTLE |
These are system transaction codes. The wire workflows post them; you do not post them directly.
