- Click “Submit”.

- Authorize the purchase by entering the six-digit code for a pending Wyre transaction in your bank account.
- (An example of a Wyre transfer in the transactions panel of a bank account. The first 6 digits after “WYRE-” is the transfer number. Do not enter the digits after the space after the first six digits.)
