About this guide
This supplement provides information about using the Payment Manager Service to create ACH and
wire payments to recipients outside the United States. Refer to the Payment Manager File specification
for your file type for information about where to enter this information in your payment file.

For general information about the Payment Manager Service, refer to The Payment Manager Service
Reference Guide.

International ACH payments

The Payment Manager Service International Payment Supplement 2


September 2018
International ACH payments
Overview
The IAT SEC code
All international ACH payments use the IAT SEC code. You must use the IAT SEC code for any transaction
in which a financial institution located outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States is involved
in the processing and/or settlement of the transaction.

Using the IAT SEC code makes it easier for financial institutions and gateway operators who process
originated ACH transactions (including Wells Fargo) to comply with U.S. law, including programs
administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

How the international ACH process works


The following diagram illustrates how international ACH transactions are processed.

The Payment Manager Service International Payment Supplement 3


September 2018
Guidelines for international ACH transactions
IBANs and BICs
To process an international ACH payment, you need the beneficiary’s account number and the bank ID
for the beneficiary’s bank.

IBANs — you can only use the IBAN (international bank account number) if it is specifically identified as
an acceptable format for the destination country.

BICs — you can only use the SWIFT BIC (bank identifier code, also known as the SWIFT address or code)
if it is specifically identified as an acceptable bank ID for the destination country.

See Country-specific transaction information for a description of the account number and bank ID you
can enter for each country.

Note: IBANs are required for SEPA payments. For more information about SEPA payments, see SEPA
payments.

Savings accounts
If the receiver of an international ACH transaction wants to use a savings account as the destination
account, it can be used only if it conforms to the account numbering convention required for the
destination country. Account numbering conventions are described in Country-specific transaction
information. A savings account with an internal account number that does not conform to the standard
required for the destination country cannot be used for international ACH.

Prenotes
For domestic ACH transactions, a prenote is a zero-dollar transaction sometimes used to “test” the
transaction information.

Prenotes, however, are not used for international ACH transactions. Prenotes are invalid in the payment
systems of other countries. To prevent them from being passed on to other countries’ payment systems,
Wells Fargo automatically rejects prenotes.

Utility payments
International ACH can be used to make payments to telecoms, electric companies, water companies,
and other utilities in some countries. To make a utility payment, you must be able to enter the necessary
remittance detail to properly apply the payment to the beneficiary’s account. If you cannot enter the
complete remittance information, initiate the payment using a wire transfer.

See Country-specific transaction information to determine whether you can include addenda
information for the beneficiary country and, if so, how many characters of information you can include.

The Payment Manager Service International Payment Supplement 4


September 2018
Remitter detail/beneficiary statement
Beneficiaries usually see your company’s name on the received item as the originator. If a receiving bank
does not pass along this information, Wells Fargo is listed as the originator.

Foreign exchange
If you originate a cross-currency payment, foreign exchange is performed to convert the transaction
amount from the origination currency to the destination currency.

The following is an example of a conversion from U.S. dollars (USD) to Canadian dollars (CAD) when the
exchange rate is 1.5:

Originated transaction amount = USD $100.00

Received amount = 100.00 x exchange rate

= 100.00 x 1.5

= CAD 150.00

You can contract the foreign exchange rate with our Foreign Exchange desk prior to settlement. If a
contract is in place, include the contract number in your ACH file in the foreign exchange reference field.
If you do not include a contract rate in your file, the rate based on your foreign exchange profile is
applied.

Foreign exchange is performed the morning of the date the transaction settles to your account. For
prepaid customers, this is the effective entry date (the date the transaction is sent to the payment
system by Well Fargo). For credit customers, the transaction settles and the foreign exchange is
performed on the value date (the date the beneficiary receives funds).

Note: The contract must remain in effect through the date when the foreign exchange is performed as
specified above. If the contract expires before the file is processed by Wells Fargo, the contract
rate will not be accepted.

Foreign exchange type field values


The foreign exchange (FX) type field in Payment Manager Files indicates the foreign exchange
conversion method for a transaction. Valid entries for this field are FV, VF, and FF.

FV — fixed to variable
FV stands for fixed to variable. In this situation:

• Your Wells Fargo account is denominated in a currency that is different from the currency for the
receiver’s account.
• The amount from your Wells Fargo account is fixed, and the amount to the receiver depends on the
foreign exchange conversion.

The Payment Manager Service International Payment Supplement 5


September 2018
Example 1: you have employees abroad, and you pay them a monthly stipend of 1,000 USD to be
deposited to their account at a foreign bank in the local currency. You originate each ACH transaction for
$1,000 from your USD account, and we perform the currency conversion and send the payment in the
local currency. We debit your USD account for $1,000, and we include the amount of foreign currency
sent on your statement.

Example 2: your company operates in Europe, and you have vendors in the U.K. that you pay a monthly
service fee of 1,000 euros to be deposited to their account at a bank in the U.K. You originate each ACH
transaction of 1,000 euros from your London EUR account, and we perform the currency conversion and
send the payment in GBP. We debit your EUR account for 1,000 euros, and we include the amount in
GBP on your statement.

VF — variable to fixed
VF stands for variable to fixed. In this situation:

• Your Wells Fargo account is denominated in a currency that is different from the currency for the
receiver's account.
• The foreign currency amount to the receiver is fixed, and amount from your Wells Fargo account
depends on the foreign exchange conversion.
Example 1: your vendor invoices you for 1,000 euros. You originate an ACH transaction for 1,000 euros
from your USD account, and we perform the currency conversion to determine the USD amount to debit
your account for the transaction. We send 1,000 euros to your vendor’s account, and we include your
USD settlement amount on your statement.

Example 2: you have employees in Singapore, and you pay them a monthly stipend of 1,000 SGD to be
deposited to their accounts at a bank in Singapore. You originate each ACH transaction from your HKD
MCA account, and we perform the currency conversion to determine the HKD amount to debit your
account. We send 1,000 SGD to your employees, and we include the amount in HKD on your statement.

FF — fixed to fixed
FF stands for fixed to fixed, and you use this option when the transaction doesn’t require foreign
exchange. This occurs when your Wells Fargo account and the receiver’s account are denominated in
the same currency. In this situation, no foreign exchange is necessary.

Example: your vendor invoices you for 1,000 euros. You originate an ACH transaction from your London
branch account for 1,000 euros, and we send 1,000 euros to your vendor’s account. The settlement on
your MCA account is 1,000 euros. No currency conversion is necessary.

September 2018
IBAN formats
A typical IBAN format is as follows:

• Two-letter country code


• Two check digits calculated from the remainder of the IBAN
• Bank code (length varies)
• Branch code (length varies, not included for all countries)
• Account number (length varies)
The first four characters are always a two-letter country code and two check digits, but the remaining
content varies by country. The IBAN for some countries contain other elements than listed above, such
as an account type code or additional check digits.

Processing deadlines and transaction posting


Your file must be received by the deadline indicated below on the day of the effective entry date for
transactions in the file.

You can send a file to Wells Fargo up to 45 days in advance of the effective entry date. Wells Fargo
warehouses your international ACH transactions until the day of processing.

When determining the posting date, consider both U.S. holidays and holidays for the destination
country.

SEPA payments
The Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) initiative created a zone in which qualifying ACH payments are
treated as if they are within the same country even when the receiving financial institution is in a
different country. SEPA ACH payments can be simpler to originate because you provide the same basic
information for the receiver regardless of the country where the receiving financial institution is located.

Information passed through the local clearing system to the beneficiary is standardized for SEPA
payments, as is information provided on returned transactions.

An ACH payment originated through Wells Fargo is sent as a SEPA payment if it meets the following
requirements:

• The originating account is a Wells Fargo London account denominated in U.S. dollars, British pounds,
or euros.
• The receiving financial institution is located in one of the SEPA countries listed below.
• The payment conforms to the requirements in the table below.

The following is a list of countries supported for SEPA payments.

Austria France Lithuania Romania *


Belgium Germany Luxembourg San Marino
Bulgaria * Greece Malta Slovakia
Croatia * Hungary * Monaco Slovenia
Cyprus Iceland * Netherlands Spain
Czech Republic * Ireland Norway * Sweden *
Denmark * Italy Poland * Switzerland *
Estonia Latvia Portugal United Kingdom *
Finland Liechtenstein *

* Although these countries accept SEPA payments in euros, the euro is not the national currency for
these countries. As a result, SEPA payments to these countries may require foreign exchange by the
beneficiary bank, which may impact the date when the beneficiary receives the funds.

The following is a list of dependent territories supported for SEPA payments.

ACH payments to India are settled through India’s National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) system.

Note: If you have been remitting wires to your receiver, the financial institution where your receiver’s
account is held may use a different IFSC for NEFT payments than for wire transfers.

There are three ways to obtain the IFSC:

• The receiver can obtain the IFSC from the financial institution where the account is held. Each
branch of a bank has a unique IFSC code for NEFT payments.
• The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) publishes the list of bank branches participating in the National
Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) system at the following address:
https://rbi.org.in/scripts/neft.aspx

When you access that page, select List of NEFT enabled bank branches. Follow the instructions in
the dialog box to open or save the document.

• The RBI also advises banks to print their IFSC on checks. You may find the IFSC on a check from your
receiver, as shown in the following illustration.

Foreign currency wires


The Payment Manager Service can process international wires denominated in a variety of foreign
currencies. The Payment Manager Service supports the following types of foreign currency wires:

• Foreign currency wire settling to a DDA account — the originating account is denominated in U.S.
dollars and the receiving account is denominated in foreign currency. The currencies are converted
using foreign exchange.
• Foreign currency wire settling to an MCA account — both the originating account and the receiving
account are denominated in the same foreign currency. The originating account (your Wells Fargo
account) is a multi-currency account. No foreign exchange is required during the processing of the
wire.

The Payment Manager Service International Payment Supplement 36


September 2018
Your Payment Manager file must contain complete data for each foreign currency wire. The Payment
Manager Service does not support the use of templates or repetitive wires for foreign currency wires.

Foreign exchange
You have several options to convert your wire transfers to foreign currency.

• Contact your Wells Fargo foreign exchange specialist to obtain a foreign exchange rate and contract
number.
• Use the Wells Fargo Foreign Exchange Online service to obtain a foreign exchange rate and contract
number.
• Have Wells Fargo automatically assign a foreign exchange rate for your wire payment based on
conversations you’ve had with your foreign exchange specialist at the time the payment is
processed.
• Use the Payment Manager Real-Time system to obtain a foreign currency rate and contract number.
After obtaining a contract number, you assign the contract number to a single wire transfer in your
Payment Manager file.

Using an intermediary bank


If the beneficiary’s account is at a credit union or savings and loan, wires to that account need to use an
intermediary bank to process the wire. If you have information for the intermediary bank, you can
supply it in the intermediary bank fields for the wire. If you do not have the intermediary bank
information, leave the intermediary bank fields blank, and Wells Fargo will supply the needed
information.

Fees
Fees charged to your company to originate an international wire transfer are debited from your Wells
Fargo account.

If there are any additional fees charged by an intermediary bank and/or the beneficiary’s bank, Wells
Fargo attempts to absorb these fees. If that is not possible, however, the bank(s) involved typically use
one of the following methods to collect those fees from the beneficiary:

• Deduct the fees from the beneficiary’s payment.


• Apply a separate debit to the beneficiary’s account for the fee.

Settlement
International wires typically settle to the beneficiary’s account two days after the item is originated by
Wells Fargo (depending on receiving bank’s practices). Both U.S. holidays and holidays for the
destination country affect the time required for settlement.

The Payment Manager Service International Payment Supplement 37


September 2018
Obtaining information for your originated wires
We can provide you with wire information in a number of ways:

• The Treasury Information Reporting (TIR) Wire Transfer Detail or Intraday Composite report
• BAI
• ISO 20022 XML
• SWIFT messages
Wire information is available once the wire is successfully processed on the SWIFT network. For foreign
currency wires, the information reported includes foreign currency, foreign exchange contract number,
and foreign exchange rate.

Book transfers
Book transfers are wire transactions that occur between accounts that are owned by you. These
transactions can occur between your accounts in the United States, London, or Cayman Islands.

Guidelines for book transfers using the Payment Manager Service:

• Work with your Implementation Specialist to identify the accounts you want to use. Your
Implementation Specialist must link your accounts together for book transfer processing.
Note: If your accounts are not linked, the transaction will be processed as a wire transfer instead of a
book transfer.

• If you are sending book transfers between your U.S. based accounts and multi-currency accounts,
take into account any currency cut-off times and bank holidays when calculating the value date.
• For book transfers between U.S. accounts, include the bank routing/transit number (ABA number).
• When transferring funds between multi-currency accounts (MCAs), include the SWIFT BIC code of
the bank. Wells Fargo’s SWIFT BICs are as follows:
• London — PNBPGB2L
Cayman Islands — WFBIUS6S

Identifying beneficiary banks and accounts
Overview
To properly route an international wire, you need to identify the beneficiary bank and the beneficiary’s
account at that bank. There are several ways to do this, and the information you need to provide varies
by country.

Identify a beneficiary bank by entering the following information:

• The SWIFT BIC (Bank Identifier Code).


• The international routing code (IRC), if applicable for the country.
For account numbers, some countries use specific codes, such as the IBAN (International Bank Account
Number), which is used in numerous countries, and the CLABE number, which is used in Mexico. For
these countries, enter the entire IBAN or CLABE number in the account number field.

Including the proper information to identify the beneficiary bank and account is critical to ensure a wire
reaches its destination and is processed as quickly as possible.

SWIFT BIC
The SWIFT BIC (Bank Identifier Code) is an 8- or 11-character code identifying a bank, and all
international wires must include the SWIFT BIC for the beneficiary bank. To obtain the SWIFT BIC for the
beneficiary bank, you can:

• Get it from the beneficiary.


• Use the SWIFT directory:
http://www.swift.com/biconline

Note: If you use the SWIFT directory, only use a BIC listed as connected to the SWIFT network. Do
NOT use a BIC listed as not connected to the SWIFT network or deleted. We cannot process
wires using a BIC with not connected or deleted status.

General Currency Requirements for all currencies


The following general currency requirements apply to all currencies:

• Beneficiary full name and complete in-country address, including beneficiary city and country,
are required (P.O. boxes are not sufficient).
• Beneficiary bank SWIFT code OR if no SWIFT code, then full legal name, branch address, and
agency code.
• Beneficiary account number (see individual currency requirements if IBAN is required).

The Payment Manager Service International Payment Supplement 39


September 2018
Note: While not all countries require Purpose of Payment, the increasing trend is more countries are
requiring it without notice. Our best practice recommendation is to include the specific purpose of
payment (Invoice specifying purpose, tax payment, payroll, capital injection, etc.).

International routing codes (IRCs)


Some countries have created international routing codes which are used in combination with the SWIFT
BIC to route a payment through a main office to a branch. Not all countries use a separate IRC in
addition to the SWIFT BIC. If you try to send an IRC to a country that does not support the use of the IRC,
then your payment may be returned to you or be subject to repair fees.

Each country has a specific name for their routing code, such as the IFSC in India and Canadian Payments
Association Routing Number in Canada.

Your beneficiary must provide the IRC to facilitate receipt of an international payment. Sending a wire
without the IRC can delay the wire, or the receiving bank may return the wire and assess additional fees.

International Bank Account Number (IBAN)


The IBAN is composed of up to 34 alphanumeric characters and identifies the beneficiary’s bank and
account number. The exact format varies by country. Refer to Country and currency reference table to
determine whether a country uses the IBAN and, if so, the length of the IBAN used for that country.

If a country uses the IBAN, always include the IBAN as the beneficiary account number when sending a
wire to that country. If you don’t include the IBAN, the wire may be delayed or the beneficiary bank may
return the wire and assess additional fees.

You can obtain the IBAN from the beneficiary or the beneficiary bank. Once you obtain the IBAN, you
can use the following site to verify that the IBAN format is valid.

http://www.tbg5-finance.org/?ibancheck.shtml

The U.S. doesn’t use IBANs, and accounts at banks located in the U.S. (including your Wells Fargo
accounts) don’t have an IBAN.

Important notes to improve straight-through-processing (STP)


Improving your payments straight-through-processing can help your payments process more efficiently
and quickly. Having an error in the information that you provide often leads to the transaction stopping
for repairs or calls for further information prior to processing. The following are the most common
reasons that we see payments stop and how to prevent them.

• Beneficiary bank SWIFT BIC is missing or incorrect. The beneficiary bank SWIFT BIC is required for
wires and is either eight or 11 characters. If you submit an invalid BIC (or don’t include it),
transaction processing will stop for review and repair.

The Payment Manager Service International Payment Supplement 40


September 2018
• Beneficiary bank international routing code is missing or incorrect. If a country uses an
international routing code (IRC) to identify a bank, that code has a specific length and structure. If
you submit an invalid IRC (or don’t include it for a country that requires it), transaction processing
will stop for review and repair.
• Country code or currency code is invalid. If the country or currency code for a transaction is invalid,
transaction processing will stop for review and repair. To see the country code and currency code
for each country, see Country and currency reference table.
Many countries have regulations that require additional information when initiating cross-border wire
payments. Although European countries are the first to implement this regulation, other countries are
also working to implement similar regulations. We recommend you update your business process now
to include the full beneficiary address on all cross-border wire payments.

In the coming months, we will update our payment services to validate the full beneficiary address
requirement.

Travel Rule and country requirements


The Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 “Travel Rule” requires that the originating financial institution for a
financial transaction include the name, physical address, and account number of the originator, name of
the originating financial institution, amount, and execution date of the transaction along with the name,
physical address, and account number of the beneficiary and the beneficiary’s financial institution.

New regulations for many countries also require the beneficiary city and country when initiating cross-
border payments. We also see more countries requiring additional information, such as the purpose of
payments. Countries may begin requiring these additional data elements with limited notice.

As a best practice, we recommend that you collect and send the following information with payments:

• Full beneficiary information to include address, city, and country


• Beneficiary phone number
• Purpose of payment (usually requested in the OBI field)

IBAN formats
A typical IBAN format is as follows:

• Two-letter country code


• Two check digits calculated from the remainder of the IBAN
• Bank code (length varies)
• Branch code (length varies, not included for all countries)
• Account number (length varies)

The Payment Manager Service International Payment Supplement 41


September 2018
The first four characters are always a two-letter country code and two check digits, but the remaining
content varies by country. The IBAN for some countries contain other elements than listed above, such
as an account type code or additional check digits.

China CNH payment disclosure
CNH can settle offshore (beneficiary located outside of China) and onshore (beneficiary located in China).

For wires of CNH to beneficiaries in mainland China, prior to sending your wire, make sure the beneficiary
can receive cross-border RMB. Beneficiaries in mainland China must have an import export license and may
be required to provide supporting documentation associated and consistent with the underlying payment
to their beneficiary bank to validate that incoming cross-border RMB funds are for the purposes indicated
in the payment instructions. Depending on the category of payment the beneficiary may require additional
regulatory approval. Furthermore documentation must be denominated in RMB, that is, the beneficiary
cannot receive RMB for goods and services invoiced in USD.

Many return wires and delays stem from the beneficiary not having all the supporting documentation in
place for their beneficiary bank, and the beneficiary bank not being able to receive the cross-border RMB.

CNH payments settling onshore are limited to payment types that fall under certain business categories.
Currently those business categories are:

Cross-border Goods Trade

merchandise, goods for processing, goods required for repairing, goods produced in ports by carriers,
