    • Account number.

    • Recipient address.

  7. Enter the wire amount and the Baselane banking account you are sending the funds from. 

  8. Choose whether the payment should be one-time or recurring.

Please note that the cutoff time to submit a wire transfer is 5:40 PM ET on business days. Wires submitted after this time, on weekends, or on federal holidays will be processed on the next business day.


Adding Wire Instructions for a Recipient

When adding a new recipient for a wire payment, you will need to enter the wire instructions provided by the recipient’s bank. This typically includes:

  • Recipient name

  • Bank name

  • Routing number 

  • Account number

  • Recipient address

Please note that the recipient address cannot be a P.O. Box and must be a physical address. Once the recipient is saved, you can send future or recurring payments without entering payment details again. 


Important Information When Entering Wire Instructions

Some wire instructions may include additional information such as a secondary account name or number, often labeled “For Further Credit.”

If this information is provided, include it in the Message for the recipient field exactly as it appears in the instructions so the receiving bank can properly route the funds.


Wire Transfer Fees and Cutoff Times

Outbound wire transfers cost $15 per wire. This fee is waived if your total balance across Baselane banking accounts is $50,000 or more at the time the wire is initiated.

The daily cutoff time to submit a wire is 5:40 PM ET on business days. Wires submitted after this time, on weekends, or on federal holidays will be processed on the next business day.

If you set up a recurring wire payment, the wire will process each month based on the schedule you selected. 

If the scheduled date falls on a weekend or bank holiday, the payment will process on the prior business day (Friday) or the next business day (Monday). This behavior is displayed when setting up the recurring payment.
