Wire Transfers
First Tech also offers you the convenience of Domestic and International wires. For fee schedule, please click here. A Remote Wire Transfer Agreement will need to be on file to perform any over the phone wire transfers. To complete a Remote Wire Transfer Agreement please come in to a First Tech branch.
Domestic Wires
To send money by wire transfer, you will need to have the following information:
- Name, Address, and ABA Routing/Transit Number of the Receiving Financial Institution
- (If applicable) Name of Secondary Financial Institution or Company where the funds need to be routed and their account number with the Receiving Financial Institution
- Final Beneficiary Name and Account Number
First Tech sends domestic wire transfers through the Federal Reserve. Once the transfer has been sent, it is up to the receiving financial institution to credit the appropriate account.
Foreign Wires
It is very important to contact the receiving institution and obtain detailed instructions on sending funds to a foreign account. To send a foreign wire you may need to collect some or all the following information:
- Name and Address of the Financial Institution to receive funds
- Any Financial Institutions the funds maybe routed or payable through
- Swift Number, Sort Code, Routing Number, Bank Code or other identifying code for the Beneficiary’s Financial Institution
- Branch information
- Final Beneficiary Name and Address
- Final Beneficiary Account Number or IBAN Number
Foreign wires are usually sent through correspondent banks which also charge a fee for processing the wire. The correspondent bank fees are deducted from the amount of the wire.
Once the funds leave the US Banking system and are out of the country, First Tech does not have control over the process. Depending on the sophistication of the banking system of the country it is being sent to, it can take anywhere from two days to several weeks before it is credited to the account in the foreign country. However, a general guideline would be 1 - 3 weeks. First Tech can not guarantee an arrival time.
First Tech can send either US Dollars or foreign currency. If the wire is sent in US Dollars, a correspondent bank will do the currency exchange. First Tech does not have any control over the exchange rate used. If the wire is sent in foreign currency, the currency exchange is done by First Tech.
