Frequently asked questions

How do I send an online wire?

• Sign on to Wells Fargo Online, go to Transfer & Pay, and enroll in Online Wires to get started.
• Add your recipient, select funding account and amount (along with any additional details required for certain countries).
• Review and send your payment.

You must have a current residence in the United States to send an online wire. Customers living in U.S. territories (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) or other countries can’t send wires online.

How much money can I send with Wells Fargo Online® Wires?

For your security, we restrict the amount of money you can send to recipients online. You will be able to review any limits before completing your wire transfer in online banking. To request higher limits for online wires, please visit your local branch.

What information do I need to wire money through Wells Fargo?

To send a wire, you will need:

• The name and address of your recipient
• The name of your recipient’s bank
• A valid U.S. mobile number or RSA SecurID device

To send a domestic wire, you will also need:

• The routing (ABA/RTN) number for your recipient’s bank. If you don’t know your routing number, we can look it up for you on the Add Recipient screen.
• Your recipient’s account number

To send an international wire, you will also need:

• The SWIFT/BIC for your recipient’s bank. A SWIFT code or Bank Identification Code (BIC) identifies the bank that will receive your wire transfer. If you don’t know this, contact your recipient’s bank.
• Your recipient’s International Bank Account Number (IBAN). An IBAN identifies specific bank accounts at international banks. Depending on the country, we may ask you to provide an IBAN when you send an international wire transfer.

Certain countries require additional codes as follows:

• Australia: Australian Branch Code (BSB)
• Canada: Canadian Payment Routing Number
• Great Britain: U.K. Sort Code
• India: IFSC Code
• Mexico: CLABE
• New Zealand, Cook Islands, Niue, Pitcairn and Tokelau: New Zealand Clearing Code
