Yes. Coinbase takes Wire transfer in 10 of the 62 countries we rank it in, from American Samoa to United States.

What Wire transfer is
A wire transfer is a bank to bank push payment sent over a high value settlement system, Fedwire in the United States and its equivalents elsewhere, routed through correspondent banks when it crosses a border. There is no chargeback: once the sending bank releases it the payment is effectively final, which is why exchanges accept wires for large deposits. A cross border wire can pass through one or more intermediary banks, each able to deduct its own charge before the money arrives.
- Speed
- A domestic wire clears the same business day, with Fedwire open from 9pm eastern the previous calendar day until 7pm eastern and closed on weekends and Federal Reserve holidays, while a cross border wire can take several business days.
- Cost of the rail
- The sending bank charges a flat fee, the receiving bank often charges a second one, and intermediary banks can take more out of a cross border payment, which is why US providers must disclose the total cost and exchange rate before you send.
- Limits
- Wires carry the highest ceilings of any rail here, and in the United States a consumer can cancel an international transfer within 30 minutes of sending unless the money has already been picked up or deposited into the recipient's account.
