Old way to send money (4)

I believe the answer is:

wire

(Other definitions for wire that I've seen before include "Strand of metal" , "Electrical connector" , "Flexible strands of metal" , "Telegram about the fencing material" , "Thin metal thread" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
