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. If you have any questions, please reach out to Kelly Layton.
