Wire Transfer Update

We would like to inform you of important changes to the wire transfer process. As part of Federal Reserve Bank FedWire updates, Wire Transfers are being updated to the ISO 20022 standard on July 14, 2025. When placing Wires online, you'll notice a new format with updated terminology and additional information.

To help with this transition, the previously used terms are included in parentheses next to the new terms. For example, the screenshot below shows the previous term of "City" in parentheses with the new term "Town Name" next to it.
