WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO SEND A WIRE TRANSFER


When you ask us to send a wire payment, we'll ask you for your information as well as the below information about the beneficiary, so be sure to have those available. For your convenience we've also provided easy to fill out forms to ensure all necessary information is noted. 

  • Name, full address and date of birth

  • Account number

  • Branch number and full address

  • Institution number

  • Swift code / BIC / IBAN code

  • Routing number

  • Correspondent bank information for international wires*

What is a correspondent bank? In many international transfers, a correspondent or intermediary bank is used if the sending financial institution and the receiving financial institution don't have a direct relationship. A correspondent bank works as a middleman between the two banks and will often charge an additional fee which will vary per transaction.
