Wire Transfers

Introduction to the Service Wire Transfer is a same day electronic transfer of funds from one financial institution to another. It allows greater flexibility to participate in time-sensitive investments, repay borrowed funds or make payments to vendors. With iTreasury, companies can send secure Wire Transfer instructions from the convenience of any compatible computer. iTreasury takes advantage of multi-factor authentication for added protection. An additional security option is available in the form of secondary approval. This means the individual creating the wire instructions must have a second individual approve them before the transfer can be completed. REGIONS WIRE DEPARTMENT CONTACT INFORMATION
