To receive a wire, the sending institution will need:

2. Your full name, as it appears on your account
3. Your account number
   • You will provide your member number for deposits into your Primary Savings account, or

DCU does not participate in the Swift Network and therefore does not have a Swift Code or IBAN. If you are receiving funds from a foreign country, the originating institution will need to send the funds through an intermediary institution. It is up to the origination institution as to what intermediary institution they use, as DCU has no affiliation with any other institutions. Please contact the originating institution for their wiring instructions. Please be advised additional fees may be charged by the intermediary bank due to contractual agreements. DCU has no prior knowledge of these fees and is not responsible for them.

What you can expect:
