IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- To send a wire from a foreign financial institution: Please advise them that they must use a U.S. correspondent bank. ActorsFCU does not have a SWIFT CODE.
- All international wires are sent in the currency of the receiving country unless U.S. Dollars are specified.
- Wire-transfer instructions received after deadlines, or on a day the Credit Union is open for business but the Federal Reserve Bank is closed, will be processed the following business day.

The Credit Union has no influence or control and cannot guarantee arrival or posting times for wire transfers.
Foreign Collection Items
All currencies other than U.S. Dollars (USD)
As a courtesy to our members, we exchange and deposit all major currency checks into your accounts for a small fee (see Fee Schedule under “General Fees”). Because we do not have an internal foreign exchange processing system, we outsource these transactions to another financial institution.
When submitting a Foreign Collection Item, please be aware of the following:
- It may take up to 6 weeks for your account to receive Provisional Credit (the credit given by the processing financial institution)
- If the item is returned, the Return Value may differ from the Provisional Credit received due to continually fluctuating exchange rates
- Because of fluctuating exchange rates, ActorsFCU cannot guarantee the amount that will be credited once the instrument is converted from the foreign currency into USD
- ActorsFCU cannot guarantee that foreign exchange rates will reflect the rates listed on foreign exchange websites
Canadian Items Drawn in USD
- Items drawn in USD from Canadian financial institutions will be deposited immediately
- Checks must bear an imprint specifying they are drawn on a USD account (i.e., “USD” or “US Funds”)
