Wire transfer is the fastest mode of receiving money in your Space Coast Credit Union (SCCU) account. You can receive money from within USA (Domestic Wire Transfers) or from a foreign country (International wire transfer). The transaction is initiated by the sender through a financial institution, however, you need to provide your banking details to the sender for successful transfer of money.

International Wire Transfer to SCCU

International wire transfer is one of the fastest way to receive money from foreign countries. Banks use SWIFT network for exchanging messages required for performing international wire transfer. Usually, the receiving bank (in USA) and the sending bank (in other country) need to have a direct arrangement in place to start the swift transfer. Small banks and credit unions generally don’t have this arrangement, so they use services of an intermediary bank (correspondent banks) which have this arrangement to realize the wire transfer. Intermediary banks are usually big multinational banks which have working arrangements with many top banks across the world.

Note: Banks in USA don’t use IBAN account number.

Incoming International Wire Transfer Instructions

Space Coast Credit Union doesn’t have a swift code and so it might not be able to receive the transfers directly. However, you can still receive the wire funds in your account. The sender’s international financial institution will have a corresponding bank in the U.S. they can wire to, which will forward the funds to Space Coast Credit Union via domestic transfer using routing number. The instructions will be something like this:

Beneficiary Information
Your Full Name: The name of your account as it appears on your statement
Your Account Number: Your complete bank account number
(including leading zeros)
Your Address (including City, State & County): Your complete address
Beneficiary Bank
Bank Name: Space Coast Credit Union
Routing Number: 263177903
Address (including City, State & County): Space Coast Credit Union
8045 N Wickham Road,
Melbourne, Fl 32940
Phone: (321) 752‐2222
Intermediary Bank Information – Sender’s bank will provide this information
Bank Name: Correspondent/Intermediary Bank
Swift Code: Swift code of correspondent/intermediary bank
Address: Correspondent bank address

Note of Caution on Fees: If your money transfer involves currency conversion, there is a high chance you will get a poor exchange rate from the banks and as a result pay high hidden fees. We recommend services like TransferWise for getting best conversion rates and lower wire transfer fees.

Domestic Wire Transfer to SCCU

Domestic wire transfers are run through either the Fedwire system or the Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS). Wire transfers are different from ACH transfers. Wire transfers are real time transfers (receiver usually get the money, same day) and costs more than ACH transfer (which takes 2-4 days for transfer of money).

Incoming Domestic Wire Transfer Instructions

You can receive funds to your Space Coast Credit Union account from any bank within USA using domestic wire transfer. You need to provide the following details to sender of the funds who will initiate the domestic wire transfer through his/her financial institution.

Bank Name: Space Coast Credit Union
Wire Transfer Routing Number: 263177903
Account Holder Name: Your Name
Account Number: Your Bank Account Number
Bank Address, with City & State: Space Coast Credit Union
8045 N Wickham Road,
