Wire transfer is the fastest mode of receiving money in your Stifel Bank account. You can receive money from within USA (Domestic Wire Transfers) or from a foreign country (International wire transfer). The transaction is initiated by the sender through a financial institution, however, you need to provide your banking details to the sender for successful transfer of money.

International Wire Transfer to Stifel Bank

International wire transfer is one of the fastest way to receive money from foreign countries. Banks use SWIFT network for exchanging messages required for performing international wire transfer. Usually, the receiving bank (in USA) and the sending bank (in other country) need to have a direct arrangement in place to start the swift transfer. Small banks and credit unions generally don’t have this arrangement, so they use services of an intermediary bank (correspondent banks) which have this arrangement to realize the wire transfer. Intermediary banks are usually big multinational banks which have working arrangements with many top banks across the world.

Note: Banks in USA don’t use IBAN account number.

Incoming International Wire Transfer Instructions

Stifel Bank doesn’t have a swift code and so it might not be able to receive the transfers directly. However, you can still receive the wire funds in your account. The sender’s international financial institution will have a corresponding bank in the U.S. they can wire to, which will forward the funds to Stifel Bank via domestic transfer using routing number. The instructions will be something like this:

Wire to:	Associated Bank N.A.
Swift Code:	ABGBUS44
Address:	200 N Adams Street Green Bay, WI 54301
Beneficiary:	Stifel Bank
Address:	8000 Maryland Ave Clayton, MO 63105
Account Number:	90008814
For Further Credit to:	Your Name, Address and Account Number

Note of Caution on Fees: If your money transfer involves currency conversion, there is a high chance you will get a poor exchange rate from the banks and as a result pay high hidden fees. We recommend services like TransferWise for getting best conversion rates and lower wire transfer fees.

Domestic Wire Transfer to Stifel Bank

Domestic wire transfers are run through either the Fedwire system or the Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS). Wire transfers are different from ACH transfers. Wire transfers are real time transfers (receiver usually get the money, same day) and costs more than ACH transfer (which takes 2-4 days for transfer of money).
