Top transfers FAQs

UNFCU does not have a SWIFT code because UNFCU is not directly connected to the SWIFT network. UNFCU’s registered BIC is UNUNUS31. This code can be used for identification purposes only. Payments with only a BIC will not be delivered to UNFCU. 

UNFCU does not charge for money you receive via incoming wire transfers. UNFCU’s ABA number and your account number must be included for UNFCU to receive the transfer. 

ACH transfers are free when initiated on Digital Banking but are only payable in US dollars to financial institutions in the United States. Wire transfers offer more flexibility for a fee. Compare transfers to learn more.

You can schedule transfers up to one year in advance.

In order to use Zelle®, the sender and recipient’s credit union or bank accounts need to be based in the US (does not include US territories). To use at Zelle® at UNFCU, you will also need to have a US mobile phone number and a US address. 

All incoming wire transfers are converted to USD before reaching UNFCU, and ultimately a member's account.
