A cross-border transfer refers to a financial transaction that involves the transfer of funds between accounts in different countries. Nested transactions can occur in the context of cross-border transfers, as they involve multiple steps and may involve multiple parties.
Here is an example of a nested transaction in the context of a cross-border transfer:
- Customer A initiates a transfer of funds from their account at Bank A in Country X to their account at Bank B in Country Y.
- Bank A verifies that Customer A has sufficient funds in their account to complete the transfer.
- If Customer A has sufficient funds, Bank A debits the funds from Customer A’s account and initiates a transfer to Bank B in Country Y.
- Bank B in Country Y receives the transfer and credits the funds to Customer A’s account.
In this example, the transfer of funds from Bank A in Country X to Bank B in Country Y is a nested transaction, as it involves multiple steps and is dependent on the outcome of the previous step (verifying that Customer A has sufficient funds).
Nested transactions can also involve multiple parties and involve the transfer of goods or services in addition to funds. For example, a nested transaction could involve a customer purchasing goods from a merchant in a different country, with the payment being made through a third-party payment processor. In this case, the transaction would involve multiple steps, including verifying the customer’s payment information, processing the payment, and transferring the funds to the merchant’s account.
