Processing In-House Wires

Overview

An in-house wire transfer is initiated when an associate requests an outgoing wire on behalf of a bank client with supporting documentation related to a loan payment, loan disbursement, Certificate of Deposit Account Registry (CDARS) transfer or other type of internally-initiated transfer. Internal accounts have fees waived automatically and associates must never change the fee waiver code on an internal account.

The client does not have to be present in the retail office to perform this transaction, as the requesting associate is doing so on his/her behalf. 

The requesting associate provides the input wire associate with the supporting documentation and authorization related to the wire request. Note: This documentation is not required to be scanned with the wire form. 

The associate originating the In-House Wire Transfer (requesting associate) cannot also be the input wire associate due to separation of duties requirement.

Note: All wire fees for Private Client Checking Accounts (consumer only) are waived, including fees for wire investigations and returns. These accounts will be set up with waived fees by Deposit Services upon account opening, so NO changes should be made to any wire fees for Private Client Checking Account wires.
