International Wire Transfers
Send and receive money the safe, easy way
Sending and receiving money from home shouldn’t be a hassle. We’ve broken down the process into a few easy steps.
Receiving money from home
- Come to the branch and fill out a Wire Instructions card. Our relevant info is included below:
Receiving bank: Union Bank & Trust Co.
SWIFT code: UNTUUS42
Beneficiary: <UBT account name>
Address: <UBT account address>
Account number: <UBT account number>
- Snap a picture of the completed card with your phone and send it to your family.
- Once we receive the wire info from the sending bank, we can put the money into your UBT account.
Sending money home
Sending money to your family back home is even easier: Just come to the branch and provide a few pieces of information, including the personal information of the person receiving the money (name, physical address, and bank account number) and the information of the bank receiving the transfer (name, location, and swift/BIC number).
Hint: Including a detailed reason for sending or receiving a wire can help speed along the process — for example, money for tuition, money for school expenses, etc.
