For security purposes, do not share your personal information with anyone who is not authorized to access your account. To receive an ACH debit from your PSECU account, the sender will need the following information:

    • PSECU's ABA/Routing Transit number: 231381116
    • Your PSECU Checking Account Number: As it appears on the bottom of your PSECU checks. This is a 10-digit number and leading zeroes must be included.

    Additionally, you may request a money transfer service such as Western Union Online FX, MoneyGram or other such services to perform the International Wire Transfer*. To fund the transfer, the service provider may either electronically debit your PSECU account or you may elect for PSECU to wire funds to the service provider. All wires to service providers must be to domestic institutions only.

    *Funds must be on deposit in your PSECU account for 4 full business days before they may be wired. Funds deposited by Direct Deposit or incoming wire transfer are not subject to the 4-day restriction.
