Wire Transfers
Wire transfers allow members to send funds electronically, almost anywhere in the world, to another financial institution or Western Union™ locations. Send money to the kids at college, to a traveling friend in an emergency, or to yourself if you run out of funds on a business trip.
You can also have funds wired to your credit union account from almost anywhere in the world. The procedures and requirements are a little different, but still offer a very convenient method to getting funds deposited into your credit union accounts.
Outgoing Wire Transfers
To send funds from UIECU to another Financial Institution inside the US:
Outgoing wire transfers require complete wiring instructions from the receiving institution which should include the name, address, and ABA/routing number of the financial institution the funds are being wired to. The recipient's name and account number are also required. If the recipient is someone other than yourself, a signed authorization to make the transfer is also needed.
To send funds from UIECU to another Financial Institution outside the US:
The procedures are very similar to a US wire transfer, but some of the terminology is different. All European cross-border wire transfers will be required to include a Bank Identifier Code (BIC) and an IBAN to identify a beneficiary account. Utilizing the IBAN reduces the number of potential delays and errors when making international payments.

For all other international wires we require:
If you are not listed on the account we are transferring to, we require a written authorization from the UIECU member to transfer funds to that account.
For Western Union we will need the first and last name of person receiving the funds and the city and state. When picking up, they will need photo ID, the amount of the wire, and to know it originated from Members United Corporate Federal Credit Union in Warrenville, Illinois.
