Moving To Dubai? Latest info on wire transfers

I found out today the hard way that if you order a wire transfer to the Middle East, you need to show the vendor invoice that you are paying otherwise they will not send the money. This obviously makes total sense for security reasons, it doesn’t however make sense that they failed to tell me this when I ordered the wire transfer so the order just sat there and my international moving agent in Dubai didn’t get his money that I owed him for a delivery he did for me in the UAE. It isn’t clear if this is a law, an agreement between the finance industry or a rule implemented by this particular wire company. Either way its now all sorted but thought I better share this information with you.
