Wire transfers are bulletproof. We use them for large overseas orders for first time customers. The "sweep" account IS a good idea. Recently had a business partner go through a ton of hassle because they were giving out their operating account number for wire transfers. Seems some enterprising individual in a country that shall remain infamous, created their own checks with that same account number.

They didn't lose money, but a LOT of time going through and checking records.
