How it works — simple steps to send an international wire

1. Prepare recipient details: You’ll need the beneficiary’s full legal name, their bank’s name and address, the account number or IBAN (where applicable), and the receiving bank’s SWIFT/BIC code or other routing identifiers used in the destination country.
2. Choose currency and amount: Specify whether you want the recipient to receive funds in a foreign currency or in U.S. dollars. We provide guidance on exchange rate treatment and the implications for incoming fees.
3. Initiate the transfer: Visit a branch or use eligible digital channels to submit your transfer request. Provide required identification and authorization for the transaction.
4. Processing and routing: Busey Bank forwards the payment through secure correspondent networks to the beneficiary’s bank. We track the transfer until confirmation of receipt when available.
5. Confirmation: You’ll receive a confirmation of the initiated transfer, and in many cases tracking or reference details you can use to verify arrival with the recipient.

Typical timing and delivery expectations

Delivery time for international wires varies by destination, currency, and the correspondent banks involved. Typical delivery ranges from same-day to several business days. Factors that affect timing include the completeness of beneficiary information, currency conversion requirements, local banking hours, and destination-country processing rules. For urgent payments, ask about expedited routing options that may reduce transit time.

Fees and exchange rates

Busey Bank strives for transparency in pricing. International wire fees generally include an originating fee charged by Busey and possible intermediary or receiving bank fees imposed along the payment chain. Exchange rates for currency conversion are based on market rates at the time of processing and may include a margin. Before confirming a transfer, you will be provided with the applicable fees and the exchange rate so you can see the total cost and the expected amount to be delivered.

Security and compliance

Security is a cornerstone of our international wire service. Transfers are protected by secure transmission protocols and monitored by advanced systems designed to detect suspicious activity. All outgoing international payments undergo compliance screening to satisfy regulatory requirements, which may require additional documentation or checks. These measures protect you, your beneficiaries, and the integrity of the global financial system.

Who can use this service?

The international wire service is available to qualified personal and business account holders. Eligibility criteria and documentation requirements may vary by account type and jurisdiction. Business customers may have access to enhanced payment tools and volume arrangements that support regular cross-border activity.

Documentation and information you may need

• Account holder identification and authorization
• Beneficiary full legal name and address
• Beneficiary bank details: account number or IBAN, SWIFT/BIC or local routing code
• Purpose of payment and any supporting invoices or contracts, where required

Tips for a smooth transfer

• Double-check beneficiary details to avoid delays or misdirected funds.
• Confirm whether the receiver’s bank charges an incoming wire fee and whether the beneficiary will bear those costs.
• Plan for differences in business days and public holidays in the sending and receiving countries.
• Consider exchange rate timing when sending larger amounts or when rates are volatile.
• Keep payment references clear so recipients can match incoming funds to invoices or obligations.

Common use cases

International wires are commonly used for cross-border payroll and vendor payments, property transactions, tuition or educational expenses, repatriation of funds, and family support. Businesses use wired payments when suppliers or partners require bank-to-bank transfers in local currency, and private clients rely on wires when timing, traceability, or payment security matters most.
