Wires Required for Foreign Payments
Due to the number of returned and undeliverable foreign checks and the rework involved, we are now requiring a wire for all foreign payments.
To accommodate the requirement, wire fees have been reduced:
-
- International Transfer in Foreign Currency $ 0 (No Fee)
- International Transfer in US dollars $ 16.00
- Domestic Transfers in US dollars $2.25
For Direct Payments and Payments to Individuals please include your wire form with the payment request. For Purchase Orders the auditor will contact the department contact to obtain a wire form.
The Outgoing Wire form can be found at https://businessservices.wisc.edu/documents/outgoing-wire-draft-form/ . Before submitting the form please make sure the proper signatures have been obtained.
