Wells Fargo SWIFT Code, IBAN & International Wire Transfer Details
Everything you need to send or receive an international SWIFT bank transfer with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (United States (US)): the SWIFT/BIC code, IBAN format, and the routing details correspondent banks use. Verify every field on your own payment advice before sending funds.
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
420 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA
Not used. US banks do not have IBANs — international senders use the SWIFT/BIC code WFBIUS6S with your account number and the ABA routing number.
BIC Code Structure
Wells Fargo international wires, BIC codes, and UETR tracking
The Wells Fargo SWIFT code WFBIUS6S and domestic routing
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. uses the SWIFT/BIC code WFBIUS6S (WFBIUS6SXXX in the 11-character form) for incoming international wires, registered to its San Francisco head office. The same code is used nationwide, so there is not a separate SWIFT code per Wells Fargo branch. For domestic US transfers Wells Fargo uses an ABA wire routing number rather than the SWIFT code. Some incoming US dollar wires are routed through an intermediary correspondent bank; if yours is, use the intermediary code printed on the instructions Wells Fargo gives you, and confirm it rather than guessing.
Finding the UETR and tracking a Wells Fargo wire
Every cross-border SWIFT payment to or from Wells Fargo carries a UETR, the 36-character reference in field 121 of the MT103. Wells Fargo's commercial clients can see payment detail in the CEO portal, but consumer customers generally have to contact the bank to trace a wire.
uetr.ai gives you a faster first look. Paste the UETR and we check the public SWIFT gpi tracker sources we can reach, then translate the status into plain English, for example ACSP for accepted and in process or ACCC for credited to the beneficiary, so you can see which bank last reported before you call.

Why a Wells Fargo transfer can still go silent with no update
When you start an international bank transfer through Wells Fargo, the transfer travels across the SWIFT network. Instead of going directly, your transfer routes step by step through intermediate institutions known as correspondent banks.
If a delay occurs, checking the status in your Wells Fargo CEO Portal / Online Banking may show only the information available to Wells Fargo. Other events may depend on correspondent banks, network confirmations, and the access rights of the banks involved.
uetr.ai acts as an independent information monitor. When you provide your 36-character UETR (Unique End-to-end Transaction Reference), we check public bank trackers that can be queried with the details you provide.
We assemble available events into a single plain-English timeline. Use that context to ask more precise questions of the sending or receiving bank.
What Wells Fargo CEO Portal / Online Banking does not show you
Wells Fargo's own dashboard typically reports only the leg of the payment Wells Fargo can see. It does not show what a correspondent or beneficiary bank later reported against the same UETR. uetr.ai checks the public SWIFT gpi trail across every bank in the chain, so you can tell whether the wire is still in transit, held at an intermediary for compliance, credited to the beneficiary, or rejected, and which bank reported it.
uetr.ai vs. Standard Static BIC Registers
Why static directory records are different from live tracker status checks.
| Feature Comparison | uetr.ai (Tracker Monitor) | Standard Static BIC Registers |
|---|---|---|
| SWIFT BIC Base Codes | Included with dynamic copy capabilities and segment parsers. | Basic static database search logs. |
| UETR / SWIFT Field 121 Tracking | Public bank trackers where available | ❌ No (Only lists static branch registrations) |
| Correspondent Banking Nodes Check | Explains visible ACSP, ACWC, RJCT status data where available. | No (static registers do not provide payment-status events) |
| Interactive Simulator Tools | Includes UETR correspondent trace visualizer & SWIFT code segment analyzer. | Simple text layouts with no interactive elements. |
| AI / LLM Agent-Friendly Readability | Optimized SSR (No-JS fallback mode with advanced JSON-LD multigraphs). | Complex web frameworks requiring client side hydration. |
Interactive SWIFT Code Parser
Paste any SWIFT/BIC code below to parse its standard segments. Always confirm the correct routing details with the sending or receiving bank before initiating a payment.
Inside the Process: SWIFT GPI & Correspondent Networks
Learn how correspondent banking and UETR references can help identify international transfer status information.
01/ The Legacy Correspondent Grid
When you start a transfer through Wells Fargo, it may travel over the correspondent banking network. If Wells Fargo does not hold direct clearing accounts with the destination institution, it may route the transfer through intermediary banks.
These intermediary banks may maintain bilateral clearing ledgers (Nostro and Vostro accounts). Banks in the chain may inspect the transfer, run compliance checks, apply fees, and operate on local cutoff schedules, all of which can affect timing.
02/ SWIFT GPI & UETR Field 121
In the past, once a transfer left the sending bank, tracking could become difficult for customers. Swift gpi and the UETR give banks a consistent 36-character reference for tracing payment status.
A UETR is a standardized 36-character string formatted in five hyphenated segments and intended to remain consistent as the transfer travels from Wells Fargo through the payment chain. uetr.ai uses that reference to check public tracker sources and present available status context.
03/ Decoding SWIFT GPI Clearing Codes
The payment has been accepted for processing or settlement. Confirm operational meaning with your bank.
The instruction was accepted with a change. Ask the bank what changed and whether it affects fees, routing, or amount.
The payment or instruction was rejected. Ask the sending bank for the rejection reason and next steps.
Tracker data reports a completed or credited status. Confirm receipt directly with the beneficiary bank.
04/ Primary Causes of Cross-Border Payment Delays
Compliance & Sanctions Screening
Banks may screen payment parties against sanctions and compliance lists. A possible match can trigger manual review.
Timezones & Cut-Off Windows
Banking cutoffs, weekends, and holidays can affect when each institution processes the payment.
Intermediary Fees
Intermediary fees and charge instructions such as SHA/BEN can affect the amount received and may require bank clarification.
Where is your Wells Fargo wire stuck?
A Wells Fargo payment can pause at any hop in the correspondent chain. The same UETR is reported by each bank along the way, so tracking it shows which institution last touched your money and where it is waiting.
How to find your UETR on a Wells Fargo transfer
A UETR (Unique End-to-end Transaction Reference) is a standard 36-character reference commonly used for Swift gpi payment tracking.
Open Commercial Portal
Log in to the Wells Fargo Commercial Electronic Office (CEO) or consumer portal and open outbound payment history.
Find the 36-char Code
Under international transfer receipts or MT103 advice details, copy the 36-character UETR string.
Search with uetr.ai
Paste the Wells Fargo UETR above. We check bank trackers and present available status information in plain English.
Typically located on the SWIFT GPI Confirmation or payment details screen. If not visible in your online dashboard, you can request the MT103 file directly from Wells Fargo's customer support.
Wells Fargo wire status codes in plain English
When you track a Wells Fargo UETR, the SWIFT gpi network reports a status code. Here is what each one means for your money and what to do next. These codes follow the ISO 20022 External Code Sets and are the same across every bank.
| Status | What it means for your money | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| ACSPAccepted, Settlement In Process | In transit. A bank accepted the payment and it is moving through the chain. | Keep tracking the UETR for the next reported step. |
| ACSCAccepted, Settlement Completed | Settlement between the banks is complete on the sending side. | Check that the beneficiary bank has credited the account. |
| ACCCAccepted, Credit Settlement Completed | Credited to the beneficiary's account. The money has arrived. | Confirm receipt with the recipient. |
| ACWCAccepted With Change | Accepted, but a detail was changed (for example a charge or a corrected account). | Ask the bank what changed and whether it affects the amount received. |
| PDNGPending | Held while a bank runs a check or waits for more information. | Ask which bank is holding it and why, often a compliance review. |
| RJCTRejected | A bank rejected the payment or instruction. | Ask the sending bank for the rejection reason and next steps. |

What is the difference between Wells Fargo's SWIFT code and routing number?
The SWIFT/BIC code (WFBIUS6S) identifies Wells Fargo for international wires. The ABA routing number identifies it for domestic US transfers over Fedwire and ACH. Use the SWIFT code for an incoming international wire.
Do I need an intermediary bank for a Wells Fargo wire?
Some incoming US dollar wires to Wells Fargo are routed through an intermediary correspondent bank. If yours requires one, use the intermediary code printed on the instructions Wells Fargo provides, and confirm it with the bank before sending.
How do I track a Wells Fargo international wire?
Find the 36-character UETR in field 121 of the MT103 or on the SWIFT confirmation and paste it into uetr.ai to check public bank trackers. You can also ask Wells Fargo to trace the wire; the bank remains the official source.
Where do I find the UETR on a Wells Fargo wire?
On the MT103 or SWIFT payment confirmation. Commercial clients can view payment detail in the Wells Fargo CEO portal; consumer customers can request the UETR from the bank.
Does Wells Fargo support SWIFT gpi, and can I get a UETR?
Yes. Cross-border SWIFT wires sent through Wells Fargo carry a UETR. Ask Wells Fargo for the MT103 or the UETR if it is not shown on your confirmation.
Why is my Wells Fargo international wire still pending?
International wires can route through correspondent banks that add compliance screening, cut-off times, and timezone delays. The UETR shows which bank in the chain last reported a status, so you know where to ask.
Can uetr.ai trace domestic wires for Wells Fargo?
No, uetr.ai is designed for international wires carrying a SWIFT UETR. Domestic wires (like Fedwire, ACH, or SEPA payments without UETR headers) use domestic clearing references and are outside this lookup unless a tracker source can be checked with the details you provide.
Is my data secure when checking Wells Fargo UETRs?
Yes. The service is designed for read-only lookups. We never request passwords, tokens, or personal bank login info. We use the payment reference, amount, currency, and date to query bank trackers and operate the monitoring service.
