3. Get the Wire Instructions

 **Memo/Reference:** For payments via bank wire transfer, it is required that the wire transfer include this memo/instruction/reference. Failure to include this memo instruction with your wire will result in returned wires and a returned wire fee.

If your bank does not allow special characters in your Memo/Reference, replace the special character * with a space.

**4**. **Send the wire** using the instructions from step 3.

Wires processing takes 1 - 3 business days. Please note that processing times may vary depending on your financial institution's geographical location and processing times.
