Instructions for Completing the International Wire Form
These instructions are effective as of 07/01/2013, but are subject to
change at any time upon notification by MIT Federal Credit Union.
TRANSACTION INFORMATION
The information described below is required for all International wires, unless otherwise stated. Incomplete or inaccurate information
may delay processing, and/or proper crediting of funds.
Currency Options: There are three options when sending funds to a foreign country. These options are:
• US Dollars to Foreign Currency: The amount of the wire will be debited from your MITFCU account and converted by
Cambridge Mercantile Group into the foreign currency specified on the wire form prior to being sent to the beneficiary bank.
NOTE: MITFCU does not charge a processing fee for transactions sent in foreign currency.
• Foreign Currency to Foreign Currency: This method should be used when a specific amount of foreign currency needs to be
received at the beneficiary bank. Cambridge Mercantile Group will purchase foreign currency in the amount specified on the
wire. The US equivalent of the currency amount will be debited from your MITFCU account and MITFCU will notify you of
the amount so that you are able to make the appropriate debit to your member’s account. NOTE: MITFCU does not charge a
processing fee for transactions sent in foreign currency.
• US Dollars to US Dollars: The full amount of the wire will be sent in US Dollars and debited from your MITFCU account. If the
account in the foreign country is not specifically designated to receive US Dollars, the foreign bank will convert the funds into
the foreign country’s domestic currency upon arrival, using its own exchange rate and applicable transaction fees. If there is any
doubt, the member should contact the beneficiary to get specific instructions from the foreign bank where the account is held.
Transaction Amount
US Dollars is the default, unless “Foreign Currency to Foreign Currency” is selected from the form. If “Foreign Currency to Foreign
Currency” has been selected, you must define the currency type (e.g. Euros). This amount represents the value of foreign currency that
will be posted to the beneficiary’s overseas account, following which the US Dollar equivalent will be debited from your MITFCU account.
Foreign Currency Type
If you select the “Foreign Currency to Foreign Currency” option, you must define the type of currency that is to be wired. For example,
Euros would be listed if the funds are being sent to one of the 13 countries participating in the single Euro currency, commonly known as
the “Eurozone.”
Correspondent Bank
A Correspondent Bank and Routing Number (ABA #) is needed if the funds are to arrive in US Dollars. If you do not have this information,
or a preference, leave this field blank and Cambridge Mercantile Group will assign the Correspondent Bank for you.
BENEFICIARY INFORMATION
Beneficiary’s Bank Name
List the full name of the foreign bank where the beneficiary account is held.
Bank Address
Be as specific as possible. Include the street name and number, city, state, province, country and postal/zip code. If the full address is not
available, the bank code and city where the bank is located must be provided.
Postal/Zip Code
This is the number that identifies each postal delivery area in the specified country. Each country may have a different name for these
codes. For example, in the US they are ZIP codes. This would be used if the foreign bank had to convert the funds into a draft to be mailed
to the beneficiary in a remote location.
Bank/Sort Code
This is also known as the “Branch Code.” This number is used to identify the bank or branch where the beneficiary account is held. Each
country has a different name for these codes. For example, in the U.S. they are called “Routing Numbers,” in England they are called “Sort
Codes,” in Germany they are called “BLZ Codes,” and in Australia they are called “BSB Codes.” Bank/Sort Code Requirements are as follows:
• A Bank Code is required for all BGP wires (Great Britain/United Kingdom)
• A 5-Digit Sort Code is required for wires going to Kenya

BENEFICIARY INFORMATION - CONTINUED
S.W.I.F.T. Code (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications)
This code helps the SWIFT computer system direct the funds to the correct bank and branch. This is not required if the full address of the
bank or the bank code is given. Not all banks are members of the “SWIFT” network, and therefore may not have this code.
• SWIFT codes can be verified at the following website: https://www2.swift.com/bsl/
Beneficiary Name
This must be the full name listed on the beneficiary’s account at the foreign bank. The name listed as the beneficiary must be the same as
the name on the account.
Beneficiary Address
This must be the complete mailing address as listed on the beneficiary’s account at the foreign bank.
Beneficiary Account Number/IBAN (International Bank Account Number)
List the account number or IBAN number as required by the foreign country. In Europe, IBAN numbers are used to identify the account,
and are comprised of the country code, bank code, branch code, and account number. Using the IBAN code replaces the need for an
individual account number, bank code, and SWIFT code. The IBAN code should be entered in the account number field. Please note:
• A valid IBAN is required for all wires going to Europe. IBAN codes can be verified for accuracy at the website:
https://www.iban.com/
•
An 18-Digit CLABE # is required for all wires going to Mexico. The CLABE # consists of a bank number, branch number,
beneficiary account number, and check digit.
Reason/Reference for Payment & Beneficiary Phone Number
All wires (arriving in foreign currency) to Thailand, South Korea, China and Indonesia must include a reason for payment, and a phone
number for the beneficiary. This section can also be used to include a note to the beneficiary, such as an invoice number, etc.
Page of
SENDER INFORMATION
The sender (remitter) name and full address must be included on all wires. The account number to be debited for the transaction must also
be included.
