Global Credit Union Routing Number

Frequently Asked Questions About Global Credit Union Routing Numbers

Why does Global Credit Union use the same routing number across multiple states?

Global Credit Union formed through the merger of Alaska USA Federal Credit Union and Spokane-based Global Credit Union in 2021. The credit union maintains a unified routing number (325272021) to simplify member transactions across all locations. This approach reduces confusion and ensures consistent processing whether you opened your account in Alaska, Washington, or any other state where Global operates.

Can I use the Global Credit Union routing number for international wire transfers?

No, routing numbers only work for domestic U.S. transfers. Global Credit Union, like most credit unions, does not have its own SWIFT code. For international wire transfers, you'll need to work with a correspondent bank that Global partners with. Contact Global at 1-800-525-9094 to get specific instructions for receiving international wires, as they'll provide the correspondent bank information needed.

What's the difference between ACH and wire transfers at Global Credit Union?

Global Credit Union uses the same routing number (325272021) for both ACH and wire transfers. However, the processing differs significantly. ACH transfers are batch-processed and typically take 1-3 business days, with no fee or minimal fees. Wire transfers are processed individually and can complete within 12-72 hours domestically. Global charges $20 for domestic wire transfers and $50 for international wires.

How do I know if I should use routing number 325272021 or 325180595?

The routing number 325180595 may appear on older checks from certain Washington state branches opened before the 2021 merger. Check the bottom left of your checks to confirm which routing number your account uses, or call 1-800-525-9094 for verification.
