Wells Fargo international wire FAQs
How long does a Wells Fargo international wire take?

How do I receive an international wire at Wells Fargo?
Wells Fargo lists WFBIUS6S as its SWIFT or BIC for international wires. Instructions can vary with the incoming currency and sending institution, so obtain the current routing and intermediary details from Wells Fargo before a payment is sent.
Consumer and non-analyzed business accounts currently have no Wells Fargo incoming-wire fee. An incoming foreign-currency wire is converted to US dollars using Wells Fargo's applicable exchange rate, which includes a markup.
Can a Wells Fargo wire be cancelled?
Not every wire can be cancelled. A wire with a Scheduled status can still be cancelled online, but recovery may not be possible after processing begins. Verify unexpected changes to beneficiary instructions through a trusted channel before sending.
Is Wells Fargo regulated?
