Article Summary

A wire transfer is a method of sending money electronically between financial institutions without an intermediary system, so wire transfers are typically received faster than ACH transfers. If wire transfers are enabled at your financial institution, the Wire option is available on the web or mobile Transfers page. For more information on how Narmi handles wire transfers, go to About Wires.

You can add a wire recipient to be saved for future wire transfers and manage your saved wire recipients. To manage wire recipients on the web app, go to Recipients. To manage wire recipients on the mobile app, go to Manage Recipients.

Note: Our Digital Banking product only supports domestic wire transfers, not international wire transfers.
