Recently, I sent a wire transfer to Canada and I gave the sending bank the following information :

Transit Number : XXXXXYYY

XXXXX - represents the branch number and YYY the institution number.

I've been told that this is the wrong format to use though. I sent it once before using the same format and had no problems, will there be any problem this time? I'm getting nervous since its quite important.

This is what I used last month:

Account holder name -
Institution Number - xxx
Account Number - xxxxxxx
Branch Transit Number - xxxxx

Yes, It seems that I've combined branch and institution into one.

The beneficiary's website lists it like this so I sort of followed it to the point. My mistake.

I did this earlier as well but since it went though, I forgot about it and did the same thing now again by mistake.

I'm assuming that it would be rather obvious though to someone looking at the information? Do I have a reason to worry?
