How do I send a wire payment?

How to Send a Wire Payment from your Bluevine Dashboard

A wire transaction is generally the fastest method to transfer funds electronically. It allows you to send funds directly to an external bank account, usually within one business day¹. The fee amount for a wire initiated from your dashboard is based on your plan type (see the table below). 

Note: We don’t accept international wires at this time.

How to submit a wire payment:

1. Sign in to your Bluevine Dashboard²
2. Navigate to Checking on the left-hand menu
3. Click on Send Payment
   
4. Search for your saved payee and select them
   
   
   • You can also add a new payee manually from here
   • For more information on adding a payee, check out our adding a payee support article
5. Select which account you would like to pay from on the Pay from drop-down menu
   • Note: You can select your main and sub-accounts, external bank accounts, or credit and debit cards you've added to your Bluevine dashboard as the Pay from source.
   • Note: You must add your card information before you can use it as a funding source.
6. Insert payment amount and bill details
7. Choose the payment method (Wire), frequency, send date, memo to payee (optional), attach a bill (optional), add an approver (optional), then click Next
   
8. Select whether or not to send an email to the payee alerting them of the payment

You may be required to input information regarding your payee the first time you send the wire payment. The requested information may include:

• Length of relationship with payee: The amount of time you have been doing business with the payee.
• Your relationship to the payee: How do you know the payee? (e.g., vendor, employee, business partner, etc.)
• Expected frequency of payment: How often do you expect to send payments to the payee? (You will not be prevented from sending wires more than this input amount in the future.)
• Maximum payment amount expected: The maximum payment amount you anticipate wiring to the payee. (You will not be prevented from sending wires above this input amount in the future.)
• Payee Category Question: This is a brief description that describes the service this payment covers.
• Date: This is the date that the service the payment applies to took place. This has no impact on when the payment will be sent to the payee.
• Invoice Number: The invoice number for the wire payment, if applicable.
