Follow these steps to ensure a smooth, secure wire transfer:

1. Gather the recipient’s information:
   • Bank name and ABA/routing number
   • Account number
   • Full name and address
2. Visit a Frontwave branch or call 800.736.4500 to initiate the wire.
3. Submit your request before 2:00 p.m. PST for same-day processing.

Provide the sender with these details to receive a wire from a U.S. financial institution:

• Receiving Institution: Frontwave Credit Union
• ABA/Routing Number: 322274925
• Phone Number: 800.736.4500
• For Final Credit To: Your name and Frontwave Member number

• Processing Times: Wires are processed Monday–Friday before 2:00 p.m. PST. Transfers sent after this time will process the next business day.

Wire fraud is on the rise. Always verify wiring instructions before sending money. Cybercriminals hack emails and send fake but convincing wire details. Protect yourself by following these steps: 

• Verify wire instructions in person or by calling a trusted number 
• Double-check details before sending! Never assume instructions are correct 
• Be cautious of last-minute changes! Fraudsters often alter wire details at the last minute
