What you should also know about Wire Transfers

Incoming Wire Transfers

For incoming wires we don't charge a fee but an intermediary financial institution may deduct fees before it reaches Creston & District Credit Union, of which we have no control.

If you need to do a trace request for an undelivered wire, you will have to initiate the trace at the sending institution.

Outgoing Wire Transfers

We do charge a nominal fee for outgoing wire transfers.  And often the intermediary financial institutions will deduct a fee from the wire before it reaches its destination.  Unfortunately, we have no control over what is charged by intermediary institutions.

To trace an outgoing wire sent from Creston & District Credit Union, come into the branch.  There may be a nominal fee for wire traces.
