Hello!

I am not very familiar with wire transfers. When you receive a wire transfer you obtain the following information:

1. Transaction Reference
2. Fed Reference
3. Sender Reference
4. Sender or Receiver Name
5. Sender or Receiver ABA

Could someone please explain what each one means? With the exception of 4, all of them are codes.

Strangely, even 4 is odd because it says Bank of New York but I don't do business with anyone in New York.

Also is there any website where I can input one or more of the codes to find out details about the sender?

The first three are reference numbers assigned by the receiving bank, Federal Reserve Bank and sending bank, respectively.

Item 4 is the name of the U.S. bank that originated the wire (it may be relaying a wire received from another source), followed by its ABA number.

I was expecting a wire transfer, like so many I have both sent and received in the past, but it didn't make it yet. I verified the account numbers with the sending party, a brokerage firm, but my bank tells me that there is no indicatio of it being sent. I have had funds disappear and reappear without explanation in the past with the prevailing attitude by my bank one of passive and denial.

What can I do. This has been going on for many years, and at every bank I deal with. I believe that their is a third party hacking my accounts.
