🗣️ On the call — step by step
- Open with: "I'd like to send an international wire. First-time recipient, US dollars to Ecuador."
- Voice verification is automatic — just talk normally when the system or rep prompts you. No codes, no passwords.
- Give the details from the block above. Ask for the memo to carry invoice 2610R7.
- Ask for a read-back of beneficiary name, account number, SWIFT and amount — and check it digit by digit against this page before you approve.
- Confirm the total fees (expect $0) and get the wire confirmation / reference number before you hang up. Ask for the confirmation copy by email as well.
- Arrival: Rodrigo says US-bank wires usually land the next day (his bank can take longer; the confirmation number is your proof either way). Ecuador may route via an intermediary — normal.
- If anything the rep reads back does not match this page, stop the wire and message Mavi before re-trying.
✅ After the call
- WhatsApp the confirmation copy to Rodrigo: +593 98 457 9397. He confirms receipt in writing — that message is what closes the booking.
- Balance left after this deposit: $5,251.20 (60%), due Nov 18.
- Release Sandra's Tip Top Travel hold politely before her Fri Oct 30 deadline — only after Rodrigo confirms the deposit landed.
- Then: return flight dates get fixed before the included tickets are issued (changes are free only before issuance).
