Sending an International Wire Transfer

To send an international wire, you need to enter in the following information:

  • The SWIFT / BIC for your recipient’s bank. A SWIFT code or Bank Identification Code (BIC) identifies the bank that will receive your wire transfer.

This would be entered in the Beneficiary Institution section:

  • Your recipient’s International Bank Account Number (IBAN). An IBAN identifies specific bank accounts at international banks. An IBAN number contains up to 34 alphanumeric characters. It is prefaced by a two-character country code, two check digits, and a Basic Bank Account Number (BBAN) that contains specific bank and account details. The format of the BBAN portion varies from country to country, which will typically include a bank code and branch code.

This would be entered in the Beneficiary section:

Certain countries require additional codes as follows:

  • Australia: Australian Branch Code (BSB)

  • Canada: Canadian Routing Number

  • Great Britain: U.K. Sort Code

  • India: IFSC Code

  • Mexico: CLABE

  • New Zealand, Cook Islands, Niue, Pitcairn, and Tokelau: New Zealand Clearing Code

If you are wiring to one of these countries you can indicate the given additional code on the "Message to Beneficiary Section":

If you are sending the given wire transfer directly to Swift code, you can select "None" for the Intermediary Institution section and leaving the Receiving Institution section blank.

So for example if you are wiring directly to a vendor in Great Britain and sending the USD amount, you would indicate the wire transfer as follows:

You would then select "Process" to initiate the wire transfer.
