Outbound remittance constitutes a settlement method whereby the remitting bank, acting upon the request of the remitter, remits a specified amount of funds to an account designated by the remitter. Remittance methods encompass telegraphic transfer, mail transfer, and draft transfer, with telegraphic transfer representing the most commonly utilized method.
