Domestic and International Wire Transfer Services

NexTier Bank processes wire transfers through Fedwire (domestic) and SWIFT (international), giving you access to the two most reliable payment networks in the global financial system. Whether you are closing on a home in Butler County or sending funds to a supplier overseas, our wire desk handles each transfer with the same level of care and verification.

Domestic Wire Transfers

Domestic wires move funds between US-based bank accounts through the Federal Reserve's Fedwire system. Outgoing wires submitted before the 2:00 PM ET cutoff on business days are processed for same-day delivery. The recipient's bank typically credits the funds within hours of our release, making domestic wires ideal for real estate closings, large purchases, tax payments and time-sensitive business transactions.

To send a domestic wire, you will need the recipient's full name, bank name, ABA routing number and account number. Personal account holders can initiate domestic wires by visiting any NexTier Bank branch in Western Pennsylvania or calling 724-543-2900. Business clients with treasury management access can initiate wires directly through online banking with dual-authorisation controls.

Incoming domestic wires received before the 2:00 PM ET cutoff are credited to your NexTier Bank account the same business day. You can set up account alerts to receive immediate notification when an incoming wire posts to your account.

International Wire Transfers

International wires travel through the SWIFT network, connecting NexTier Bank to correspondent banks in over 200 countries. Outgoing international wires submitted before 12:00 PM ET are typically processed the same business day, with funds reaching the beneficiary bank within 1-3 business days depending on the destination country, currency and any intermediary banks involved in the routing.

To send an international wire, you will need the beneficiary's full name and physical address, the beneficiary bank's name and SWIFT/BIC code, the account number or IBAN (International Bank Account Number), and the payment purpose. NexTier Bank can send international wires in US dollars or select foreign currencies. Exchange rates for foreign currency wires are quoted at the time of processing.

NexTier Bank complies with all FinCEN reporting requirements and OFAC sanctions screening for international transfers. Our compliance team reviews every international wire before release to ensure regulatory adherence and protect our customers from potential fraud.

How to Send a Wire Transfer Through NexTier Bank

The wire transfer process varies slightly depending on whether you hold a personal or business account. Both paths include manual verification by our operations team for security.

Personal Account Holders

Personal customers can initiate wire transfers by visiting any NexTier Bank branch in Western Pennsylvania or by calling 724-543-2900 during business hours. You will need to provide a valid government-issued photo ID, the complete beneficiary information (name, bank, routing/SWIFT, account number) and the wire amount. A wire transfer authorization form must be signed either in person or via our secure digital signature process for phone-initiated wires.

Our operations team in Butler reviews every outgoing wire before release. This manual verification step adds a layer of protection against wire fraud — one of the most common forms of financial crime. If anything about the wire request appears unusual, we will contact you directly to verify before proceeding. This may add 15-30 minutes to processing but provides essential fraud prevention that automated systems cannot match.

Business Account Holders

Business clients enrolled in treasury management can initiate wire transfers directly through online banking. The system supports wire templates for frequently used beneficiaries, reducing data entry and the risk of errors. Dual-authorisation controls require a second authorized signer to approve wires above configurable thresholds, typically $10,000 or the amount set during treasury management setup.

Repetitive wire templates allow business clients to save beneficiary details and initiate recurring wires with a single approval step. This is particularly useful for businesses making regular payments to the same vendors, suppliers or international partners. All business wires are logged in a comprehensive audit trail accessible through the online banking portal, supporting internal compliance and reconciliation requirements.

Wire Transfer Security and Fraud Prevention

Wire transfers are irrevocable once processed, which makes security paramount. NexTier Bank employs multiple layers of protection to safeguard every wire transaction.

Verification Protocols

Every outgoing wire transfer at NexTier Bank is subject to manual review by our operations team before release. This includes verification of the requestor's identity, confirmation of beneficiary details against known fraud patterns, and OFAC sanctions list screening. For wires initiated online by business clients, the dual-authorisation requirement ensures that no single individual can release a wire without secondary approval.

NexTier Bank will never contact you by email to request wire transfer authorization. If you receive an email purporting to be from NexTier Bank requesting a wire, do not respond — call 724-543-2900 immediately. We also recommend that businesses implement callback verification procedures for any wire instructions received via email from vendors or business partners.

Regulatory Compliance

NexTier Bank adheres to all federal wire transfer regulations including the Federal Reserve Regulation II requirements, Bank Secrecy Act reporting obligations and FinCEN Currency Transaction Report filing for wires exceeding $10,000. International wires undergo OFAC screening against the Specially Designated Nationals list to prevent prohibited transactions.

Our compliance infrastructure is audited annually by independent examiners and reviewed by federal bank regulators. NexTier Bank is a member FDIC institution (NMLS #407872) committed to maintaining the highest standards of regulatory compliance in all payment processing activities. If you have questions about wire transfer compliance, our BSA officer is available at 724-543-2900.
