# Cancel a held international wire transfer

**POST** `/transfers/international-wire/{swift_transfer_id}/hold-cancel`

Abort an international wire in a `hold` state. The held funds return to the available balance and the wire is never sent. Distinct from the cancellation request above, which recalls a wire that has already been sent.

### Path Parameters
