Wire Transfers
Wire transfers are easy and secure through Digital Banking!
Sending Wires in four easy steps
Please check our Fee Schedule for outgoing wire transfer fees. If you are sending an International Wire, the funds must be sent in the recipient country’s currency. If the receiving bank only receives U.S. funds, a U.S. correspondent bank is required. This will ensure that your wire is routed properly.
Step 1
All wires are sent through Digital Banking. A Funds Transfer Agreement & Form is required before we can process your first request:
Wire Instructions (the exact information you need to send or receive a wire)
Domestic Wires (watch how-to video)
International Wires (watch how-to video)
Step 2
You can log into Digital Banking to send a domestic wire or send an international wire.
Step 3
Follow the prompts to process your request and preview the exchange rate.
Step 4
We will send a secure access code to your phone number on file. To prevent unauthorized transfers of large wire amounts, Stanford FCU may also call to verify your identity.
