WIRE TRANSFER

Wire transfer is a method of electronically transferring funds from one person or institution to another. Wiring money can be a great way to help a friend or relative meet emergency expenses. Wire transfers are also used for transactions like making a down payment on a home or paying off debt.

  • Visit any SchoolsFirst FCU branch, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.
  • Call (800) 462-8328, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., or Saturday, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. (some limitations and restrictions apply).
