ACH / Wire Payments

At the Office of Treasury Operations, we help Purdue with U.S. dollar wire payments as well as all payments in a foreign currency or to a foreign country. A wire transfer is used to transfer money from one person or entity to another, domestically or internationally. The Office of Treasury Operations has provided resources to support accurate and timely transfers.

The Office of Treasury Operations maintains a list of unclaimed incoming electronic payments. This listing, along with related bank activity reports and other information, is located on a secure site. Because of the confidential nature of this information only those with a documented business need and the appropriate certifications may obtain access to this information. If your role with the University requires you to have access, reach out to Treasury Operations at Treasury@purdue.edu for information on how to obtain access.

The Wire Transfer Request Form is an internal document. This form should be filled out electronically to ensure accuracy for the wire transfer. The Wire Transfer Request Form – Quick Reference Guide (QRG) provides detailed instructions for completing the form. Wire Transfer Request Training is now available in SuccessFactors for additional guidance.

The electronic funds transfer country requirements booklet provides detailed information on payment formatting guidelines for foreign currencies. Requirements often differ between currencies, so it is a good idea to review this document when requesting a wire transfer in a foreign currency.
