Wire Payment Requests
 

A wire payment may be requested for either a payment which must be paid immediately, or a payment to a foreign bank.  Because WFS accommodates electronic payments, miscellaneous wire requests to US banks will be minimal.  However, it is understood that emergency situations do arise.

DOMESTIC WIRE
To request an electronic transfer to a bank within the United States, complete the attached Domestic form, submitting it via interoffice mail or scanned image to Christine Rodrigue in Finance, prior to creating and submitting a Voucher.  Create a Smart Doc Voucher. 

The Smart Doc Voucher must include the following details:

• Type "PAY BY WIRE" in the Instructions to AP section (Based on the AP instructions, AP will know to add Christine as an Approver.  The WFS voucher approval notification will alert Christine to initiate the payment.)

Domestic Wire Request Form

FOREIGN WIRE
To request an electronic transfer to a bank outside the United States, complete the attached form, submitting it via interoffice mail or scanned image to Christine Rodrigue in Finance, prior to creating and submitting a Voucher.  Create a Smart Doc Voucher.

The Smart Doc Voucher must include the following details:

• If the payment is in US dollars, type "USD FOREIGN WIRE" in the Instructions to AP section

• If the payment is in foreign currency, type "OTHER CURRENCY FOREIGN WIRE", the Type of Currency, and Amount in the Instructions to AP section.  DO NOT enter anything in the Amount field (the US $ amount will be entered on the Voucher by the Finance office after the payment has been made.)

Foreign Wire Request Form

A payment request will be processed within 5 business days of receipt.  After the payment is made, the requestor will receive an email confirmation of the payment. For non USD requests, the confirmation will indicate the corresponding USD equivalent on the date of the payment.
