Wire Transfer | OH KY Secure Electronic Money Transfer | GECU

Quick, cost-effective process
Safeguards in place for your security
Domestic and international wire transfers

When you need to get or send money fast, a wire transfer is a secure way to do it. The term “wire transfer” refers to the process of electronically transferring funds from one financial institution – such as a bank or credit union – to another. Sometimes, this process may involve fees.

Along with speed and safety, you may want to wire money simply because it’s a required payment method. One example is wiring a down payment or closing costs to an escrow company before closing on a house.

One thing’s for sure: whether you’re moving money from within the U.S. or somewhere across the world, this solution will get the job done quickly and cost effectively.

As previously mentioned, a wire transfer is a secure way to send and receive money. But, some criminals may try to trick you into sending them one, scamming you out of money. They prefer this method because once the money is in their hands, you may not be able to get it back. Avoid falling victim to this scam by doing the following:

Be vigilant about knowing whom you send funds.
Be cautious about online or social media requests to wire money.
Never give your personal or banking information to a stranger or unknown source.
Know GECU will never initiate contact asking for personal information.

You don’t need to come into a branch to receive an incoming wire transfer.
