Definition

Telegraphic Transfer. It is a mean of remitting money where the financial institution, at the request and risk of its customer, sends a message (for instance, a cable) with the necessary details to its foreign agent who will act on the instructions. The transfer is normally made in the currency of the payee's country. The telegraph is now replaced by modern communication tools.
