When sending a SWIFT international wire to Wells Fargo Bank, include the BIC WFBIUS6S in the "SWIFT/BIC code" or "Bank identifier code" field of your sending bank's wire transfer form.
The 8-character BIC WFBIUS6S identifies Wells Fargo Bank's head office. If you are sending to a specific branch, the bank may provide an 11-character BIC with a 3-character branch suffix (e.g. WFBIUS6SXXX).
Once your bank sends the wire, your payment gets a 36-character UETR tracking code. Paste it into Ohmyfin's free tracker to see the live SWIFT GPI status — no bank login needed.
