When vendors or other payees request payment via electronic wire transfer, the request for transfer must be made by an individual who is authorized on the account to be charged. The request is to be submitted to Accounts Payable using the Wire Transfer Form at least one business day (24 hours) prior to the transmission date and should include all necessary wire transfer information and supporting documentation. The bank fees associated with the wire transfer will be charged to the same account as the wire transfer.
