Incoming Foreign Wires

SDCCU does not have a Swift code to use for international incoming wires. If the funds are being wired for deposit to San Diego County Credit Union (SDCCU), you will need to utilize an intermediary bank in the United States (US) to send a wire. An intermediary institution will have the foreign codes needed to accept the funds from a financial institution outside the US. The intermediary institution in the US will receive the funds, and should then wire the funds to SDCCU using the appropriate account and routing number. Please be advised that there is a fee for an incoming foreign wire. See the Consumer Services Fee Schedule for current fees. For details on foreign wires, read below or visit a SDCCU branch.

For next-day processing, foreign wires are accepted from 12:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. PST Monday – Friday. At this time, no foreign wire requests can be accepted after 2:30 p.m. PST Monday – Friday, or on Saturdays. Certain countries require additional information for outgoing wires, see below.
