Incoming Wire Transactions

For incoming domestic wire transactions

For incoming international wire transactions

Wires will come through our intermediary Credit Union (Catalyst Corporate)

International Wires/Catalyst Corporate’s BIC1 Code:

Catalyst Corporate does not have a SWIFT code that allows international wires to be sent directly from an international bank to Catalyst Corporate. The sending international bank wilt need to go through a U.S. correspondent bank or through a foreign correspondent bank that has a banking relationship with a U.S. correspondent bank.

Catalyst Corporate does have a non-live SWIFT/BIC1 code that can be given to an individual or an institution in another country for use in wiring funds into the United States. For the international bank and the U.S. correspondent bank, this code identifies Catalyst Corporate as a legitimate party to the wire.

Please note that a 81 C1 is an “inactive” BIC, used only for identification purposes. This BIC can only appear in the text (Block 4) of a FIN message – party field 57A or 58A, for example, to identify your institution as the beneficiary of a payment. If an “inactive “SIC appears in the header of a FIN message, the message will be rejected by FIN.

Catalyst Corporate’s B1C1 code is CCFDUS41
