Wire Transfers
Below are the preferred method and procedures for outgoing and incoming wire transfers.
Outgoing Wire Transfers
UMW’s preferred method for outgoing payments is by either credit card or through the Accounts Payable Department (AP) as a direct pay or purchase order (depending on what type of good/service is being purchased). UMW payment by bank wire transfer is an option limited ONLY to non-student vendors that:
- Do not accept credit card payments
- Are not signed up for ePayables
- Are not registered as an EDI vendor
- Are not able to accept checks payable in US Dollars
Please note that international wires may take up to 10 business
days before showing as a deposit to a foreign vendor.
