Sending an outgoing wire?

First, always review the Wire Information Checklist to make sure you have all the information you need to send the wire. Once you have all the required information, visit us at a Coast Capital branch to get started.

Wire Checklist

What you should know about wire transfers? You can use our incoming and outgoing money transfer services to wire funds to any financial institution in Canada, the U.S., and most countries overseas.

Please make sure you review all fees associated with sending a wire transfer on our personal wire free page and business wire fees page.

To trace, recall or amend an outgoing wire, please call our Advice Centre at 1.888.517.7000 or visit a nearby branch. Have the printed Wire Receipt on hand to help speed up the process.

Expecting an incoming wire?

Please Note: Coast Capital’s wire transfer vendor recently changed their correspondent bank to Citibank for incoming foreign wires. See below for updated instructions.

You can find these numbers either on a physical cheque or in Digital Banking.
