# Clear a held international wire transfer

**POST** `/transfers/international-wire/{swift_transfer_id}/clear`

Release the hold on an international wire in a `hold` state. For an outgoing wire this sends it: the held funds are debited directly from the holding balance and never pass back through the available balance, and an FX transfer fails with `fx_quote_expired` if the hold outlived the quote booked at creation -- cancel the transfer instead. For an incoming wire this releases the held credit into the beneficiary's available balance and completes the transfer, firing the standard completed event.

### Path Parameters

- `swift_transfer_id` `string` _(required)_ — Unique identifier for the SWIFT transfer.
