Definition
电汇 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to wire money' or 'to make a telegraphic/electronic transfer'. The two syllables can split to insert a measure word, duration, or aspect marker, as in 电了一次汇 ('wired money once'). The object (amount or recipient) typically follows the full compound or goes between the split parts. This is the standard term for bank wire transfers (TT) in modern Chinese.
