I use transferwise and didn't give them my bank credentials. Question: which country are you in and which country were you sending to? I imagine this sorry of thing is both country specific and possibly bank specific.

The pain was figuring out the exact recipient bank account name in Japan but that's mainly Japan's fault.

In the US, sending to Cyprus.
I really wonder why they arranged for your bank credentials. I've always been able to just wire transfer wise in the states and they wore in the recipient country. Pertussis there's some regulation in Cyprus about transfers?
I'd guess it's US AML regulations about sending money to Cyprus.
