Send and receive money fast, easy, and securely.
A wire transfer is a type of electronic payment service for transferring funds between financial institutions by wire. RTFCU offers both domestic and international wire transfers through our correspondent corporate credit union.
Getting Started
Request a Wire Transfer Form from a member experience specialist, obtain the following information, and return to RTFCU. The processing time needed may range from 1-7 business days.
- When receiving an international wire, an intermediary stateside institution must be used.

For fee information, please see our fee schedule.
