Jordan has a large diaspora in the United States and sends funds for education, personal support, and trade invoices. JOD (Jordanian dinar) is pegged to USD at 0.709, which eliminates FX conversion risk — the conversion is essentially a fixed-rate exchange. Payments route from Jordanian banks (Arab Bank, Bank of Jordan, Jordan Ahli Bank) via JoPACC (Jordan's domestic payment infrastructure) and SWIFT to a US correspondent, settling via Fedwire. OFAC applies heightened screening to Middle Eastern transfers. The Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) requires documentation for large outward transfers. Jordan received over USD 4 billion in annual inward remittances from its diaspora. Track your UETR on Ohmyfin.
Settlement path: JoPACC (Central Bank of Jordan) → Fedwire / CHIPS. Currency pair: JOD → USD.
The three most common causes of delay on this corridor are: (1) OFAC sanctions screening at the US end — Middle East transfers receive heightened review, (2) JOD-to-USD conversion at the Jordanian bank (JOD pegged to USD at 0.709), and (3) CBJ documentation requirement for outward transfers above JD 100,000.
If the payment has not arrived within 4 business days, ask your sending bank to file an MT199 payment enquiry citing the UETR and the holding bank's BIC shown on the Ohmyfin GPI tracker.
