Wire Origination FAQs 

Wires generally settle the same day and are built for time-sensitive, high-value transactions like real estate closings or urgent vendor payments. ACH origination costs less, typically settles in one to two business days, and is a better fit for routine payments like payroll. If timing is critical, wire is the right choice.

Yes. Wire origination supports both domestic and international transfers, so that you can move funds across borders with the same speed and security as a domestic wire.

No. You can send a wire through our digital banking app, making it convenient and easy. For your protection, we may contact you to verify certain wire transfer requests.

The callback is an added layer of protection that confirms you authorized the wire before it's sent. It takes a few extra minutes, but it keeps large, time-sensitive transactions secure.
