Outgoing Wires

An outgoing domestic or international wire request may be completed in person at any of our financial centers or in Online Banking.

Transferring domestic and international funds between your accounts and third-party accounts through Central Bank’s secure Central OnLine web-based banking, is safe and convenient.  Create and save templates for frequent domestic and international wires and, for added convenience, use multi wire transfer to create multiple wires at once. Wire transfers guarantee recipients that funds are credible, which can help facilitate immediate shipment of goods. We offer ABA lookup and foreign currency wires with exchange rate view, too!
