Below are several recommendations from our Finance Office to help facilitate the transfer of funds locally and internationally. For any questions regarding any points listed, please contact our office for further details.

WIRING OPTIONS:

• Two options are available to send wires. One from Commerce Bank for USD and the other from Moneycorp for USD or foreign currency.
• Moneycorp wires have no fee for converted foreign currency and for USD wires the fee is $10. Commerce will deduct $8 from your account and $30 from the wire amount.  For both options, this does not include potential charges from your receiving bank.

When requesting a wire, never email your full account number!

• Send wire requests prior to 10:00 am for Moneycorp and noon for Commerce same-day wires. Any requests after these times will be sent the following day.
• When requesting a new wire, do not email your full account number. You must call it into the office to confirm the request. 
• Once a wire is set up in our system, only the last 4-digits of the account number is needed when requesting a wire.
• Expecting a wire to the Mission Office? Please inform the Finance Office, in advance, of the amount and donor information so it can be properly applied to your account upon arrival.
• Wire requests should be directed to:wires@bbfimissions.com

BE BETTER AT BANKING

• Every missionary should have two accounts with Commerce Bank – one for ministry funds and the other for personal funds. This will assist with organization of your funds. If you need to set up a second account, contact the Finance Office.
• Send early deposit requests (by email or phone) prior to 12:00 pm for same-day early deposits.  Please keep in mind that we do not make early deposits of regular support, only those designated as “specials”. These are only available for early deposit if shown on your statement.
• Requests or inquiries to Commerce Bank are best made via an e-mail through the Finance Office, NOT directly to Commerce Bank.
• Writing a large check?  Inform the Finance office to prevent being flagged for fraud.
