How to do a Chase bank wire transfer (instructions)

First, make sure that you are enrolled in Chase wire transfers. 

Before you can begin making Wire Transfers, you must first add a wire recipient – the person or entity to which you will transfer funds.

How to add a recipient

Log-in to your Chase account and from the “Send Payments” tab, select the Wire Transfer option.

Click “Add a Wire Recipient.”

Enter information about your recipient, including:

• The recipient’s name
• A nickname for your recipient
• Your recipient’s mailing address, including country
• A message to your recipient

Next, you’ll need to enter the bank routing number (ABA or SWIFT code) for your recipient’s bank.

What is a SWIFT Code?

A SWIFT code is an international bank code that identifies particular banks worldwide and is also known as a Bank Identifier Code (BIC). A SWIFT code will have 8 to 11 characters.

Other terms used by international banks include:

• CHIPS (Clearing House Inter-Bank Payment System) – US and Canada only
• NCC (National Clearing Code)
• BSC (Bank Sort Code)
• IFSC (Indian Financial System Code).

What is an ABA number?

An ABA (American Bank Association) routing number is a 9-digit numeric code used to identify financial institutions in the United States.

If you do not know the recipient’s SWIFT code or ABA bank routing number, use the following links to search for them:

• SWIFT Lookup Guide
• The American Banking Association (ABA) routing number 

(Click here for a guide to using these links.)

Once you input that account number information, the routing number you enter will be displayed on the next page, along with the name of the recipient’s bank.

You’ll then be able to enter additional information about your recipient’s bank, including:

• The bank’s mailing address
• Your recipient’s bank account number
• A message to your recipient’s bank — (This is usually additional transaction-related information that the originator would like to provide the recipient’s bank. For example, this could be used to tell that bank additional information about the recipient, such as the official name of the recipient. These instructions will not affect how we process your request.)
• You can also choose to add an intermediary bank at this time — (This is the bank that funds go through to get to the intended recipient. Most often used when the originating bank does not have a direct relationship with receiving bank.)

IBANs (International Bank Account Numbers)

Note that the SWIFT code is used to identify a specific bank for your international transaction, but you’ll still need to identify an individual bank account for your international transaction

That’s when you use IBAN numbers.

IBANs (International Bank Account Numbers) are a series of up to 34 alphanumeric characters that uniquely identifies a customer’s account held anywhere in the world.

The IBAN consists of a two-character country code, followed by two check digits, and up to 31 alphanumeric characters for the bank account number.

The account number must be in IBAN format for the following countries:

• Austria
• Belgium
• Bulgaria
• Cyprus
• Czech Republic
• Denmark
• Estonia
• Finland
• France
• Germany
• Greece
• Hungary
• Ireland
• Italy
• Latvia
• Lithuania
• Luxembourg
• Malta
• Netherlands
• Poland
• Portugal
• Romania
• Slovak Republic
• Slovenia
• Spain
• Sweden
• Turkey
• United Kingdom
• Iceland
• Liechtenstein
• Norway

After you’ve input all of that information, be sure to review it.

If you need to make changes, click “Change.”

Once all information is correct, click “Add Recipient” and you should receive a message confirming that your recipient has been added.

Select the account from which the funds will be transfered. Then select your wire recipient by clicking the radio button next to the recipient’s name.

Enter information about your Wire Transfer, including:

• The amount of the Wire Transfer
• The date on which the Wire Transfer will be sent (the wire transfer can be scheduled for up to one year in the future)
• A message to the Wire Transfer Recipient (this is usually additional transaction-related information that the originator would like to provide the receiver. For example, this field is often used to communicate invoice information or for further credit to information.)
• Instructions for the recipient’s bank
• Memo information — (this is a field that allows you to provide information about the wire transfer for your own personal records.)

Then click “Next” to continue.

Once all information is correct, click “Wire Money in U.S. Dollars” and you should receive a message confirming that your Wire Transfer has been scheduled.
