Was this not obvious?
Of course deltec use correspondent banks
Conversation
This is the question we have been trying to get answered definitively. Where are they wiring the money...to Deltec directly or to a correspondent bank.

You dont wire to correspondent bank, you write to beneficiary bank. If they dont wire to Deltec, they are wiring it *someplace else*.

But the funds could be stored on Deltec's accounts at the correspondend bank (via nostro/vostro). Then there would be no inflow into the Bahamas. Please correct me if I'm wrong

No that's incorrect. The wire contains the senders bank and the receiving bank details. Additionally (cross border) the sender & receiver *banks* correspondent banks (and any intermediate bank) details are included. How banks reconcile it internally is not relevent.

So the funds cannot be deposited (e.g. for Deltec) at the correspondent bank and in any case they have to flow to the Bahamas? So we would have to see them in the CB publishings?

is correct above -- there are such things as nostro/vostro accts that work as they described

"There are such things as nostro/vestro accts"
Yes, there are. There are also debits, credits, double entry system, btr reporting, suspense accounts - many terms are used in banking, all of which are equally irrelevant to the question of where you sent the money to.

It derails the thread. Earlier, what did you mean by "other institutes"? I take it that means the receiver account for the transfers was *not* in Deltec (DBTLBSNS)

sorry didn't mean to derail -- FWIW I think my comments are all consistent with that
No worries. So, was Deltic the receiver, or did "other institutes" mean you wired to another bank account?

It's just that I'm a bit confused, you seemed to suggest earlier that you used the same bank as Tether.
