Routing Numbers for Domestic/International Wire Transfers

Receiving Domestic/International Wire Transfers
Use the routing number associated with your account's U.S. Bank branch location from the list above.

Sending Domestic Wire Transfers

• Recipient's name as it appears on the account
  
• Location of the recipient's bank (including city and state)
  
• Account number
  
• Bank routing number

Sending International Wire Transfers
Visit a branch location and bring a valid ID. Use the U.S. Bank SWIFT code USBKUS44IMT.

SWIFT codes are the international equivalents of the U.S. routing numbers. They direct the money to the correct bank for international transfers.

• Recipient's name as it appears on the account
  
• Recipient bank name, address, and country
  
• Recipient account number (you may need a country-specific account structure, e.g., a CLABE for Mexico or an IBAN for international bank accounts)
  
• Recipient bank's SWIFT code
  
• Currency of recipient's account (foreign currency or U.S. dollars)
  
• Purpose of wire
