The Domestic Bank Transfer in USD method allows you to send a local wire or ACH credit transfer from your US bank account to Flywire. To use this method, you must leave Flywire's website. You will need to log into your own bank's online platform or visit your local branch to send the funds to us.
How do I make my USD Wire or ACH transfer?
You do not need to provide your personal bank account details to Flywire. Instead, we will provide you with Flywire’s account information, and you will instruct your bank to send the money to us. Generally, you can initiate this transfer by logging into your bank’s online banking platform or by contacting your local branch directly.
Important rules for online banking:
- Look for a “Payments” or “Transfers” section in your app or portal.
- Please select that you are paying a Company/Business, not an individual.
- Do NOT use your bank's “Bill Pay” feature: While Bill Pay might seem convenient, banks often use it to mail physical checks rather than sending electronic funds. Flywire does not process physical checks, so please ensure you are sending a standard electronic wire or ACH credit transfer..
What information do I need to provide to my US bank for a USD Wire or ACH transfer?
When setting up the transfer, you will usually only need the following three details from your Flywire payment instructions:
- Account number
- ABA / Routing number
- Beneficiary name (the name of the recipient)
What if I see extra information on my instructions? You might notice that Flywire’s payment instructions include additional details. This extra information is strictly for payers making international bank transfers from outside the U.S. If your US bank does not ask for that specific information, please simply ignore it. You only need to provide what your local bank requires.
