Receiving a Wire Transfer

When receiving a wire transfer (Incoming wire) please refer to the Incoming Wire Transfer Form to ensure that the bank information provided is correct. If your wire transfer instructions are incomplete, the funds could be held at intermediary banks for an extended period of time or be returned to the sending bank, less any charges.

It is important that the correct intermediary banks are used (as listed in the Incoming Wire Transfer Form) in order to avoid unnecessary fees, delays, or currency conversions.
