PSECU Wire Transfer Information
PSECU offers both domestic and international wire transfer services for members who need to send or receive large payments quickly.
Domestic Wire Transfers
PSECU processes same-day and next-day domestic wire transfers Monday through Friday. To send a domestic wire, you'll need:
- Recipient's full name and physical address (no PO boxes)
- Recipient's bank name and routing number
- Recipient's account number
- Wire transfer fee: $20 per transfer
Important timing note: Funds must be on deposit in your PSECU account for 4 full business days before they can be wired. However, funds deposited by direct deposit or incoming wire transfer are not subject to this 4-day restriction.
International Wire Transfers
For international transfers, PSECU recommends using a third-party money transfer service like Western Union Online FX or MoneyGram. To fund international transfers:
- Have the service provider electronically debit your PSECU account, or
- Have PSECU wire funds to the domestic service provider (must be to U.S. institutions only)
