Wire Transfers

Wire Transfers are easy and secure through Online and Mobile Banking!

Sending Wires
Wise
Receiving Wires
Wire Transfer Agreement Form

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 Online and Mobile Banking. A Funds Transfer Agreement & Form may be required before we can process your first request:

Domestic Wires:
Agreement is required

International Wires:
Choose either Wise* (Agreement not required) or a traditional International Wire (Agreement is required)

Step 2

Log into Online or Mobile Banking and select Move Money, then International Transfers or Domestic Wires.

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.

Information needed to send a wire

Be sure to verify the accuracy of this information, as the transfers cannot be reversed.

  • Exact name on the recipient’s account
  • Routing number of the receiving financial institution or its IBAN
  • Recipient’s address
  • Recipient’s account number
  • Name, address and phone number of the receiving financial institution
