From a safety perspective, the risk of fraud is significantly higher with wire transfers. What kind of safeguards do you believe banks and financial institutions employ to prevent illicit activity - and how effective are they truly? Are there emerging technologies that could bolster protection?

The velocity and anonymity presented by wire transfers can be both beneficial and detrimental. How does this impact the detection and prevention of money laundering or other criminal activities, particularly when dealing with cross-border transactions? Do you believe current regulations adequately address these risks?

I'm curious on the reporting demands - what kind of information must be gave to regulatory bodies regarding wire transfers, and how transparent are those processes? Are there specific thresholds that trigger increased scrutiny or monitoring? What on the potential for tracing funds back to their origin?
