Instructions for completing the Funds Transfer Request form
#1. Bank Account Title
If you wish to receive payments from the United Nations, you must have
an account in your name. If yours is a joint account, your name should
be a part of the title of the account. Please note that the United
Nations will not make a payment to another person on your behalf.
#2. Currency of Payments
Please ascertain from your office what currency you are entitled to
receive. Please note that payments in currencies other than United
States dollars can be made only when you have a bank account in the
country of your designated currency.
A. If you are only entitled to receive payments in United States
dollars in a bank account in the United States
Please read instructions #3 and #4 carefully.
B. If you are entitled to, and wish to have, payments made in United
States dollars to an account outside the United States
Payments denominated in United States dollars may be transferred to
bank accounts outside the United States. The United Nations Treasury
currently makes United States-dollar payments from JP Morgan Chase
Bank, New York. Cross-border payments are routed through an
intermediary bank or intermediary banks. To avoid errors, delays or
expensive bank fees, it is recommended that you contact your bank to
ascertain whether there is a preferred method of sending United
States-dollar payments to your bank account. Identification of your
own bank’s correspondent bank in the United States is helpful in
routing your payment accurately with minimum intermediary bank
charges. See #5 for the routing instructions.
Currency conversion. If your bank account is not in United States
dollars, payments in United States dollars may be converted
automatically into local currency by receiving banks. Unfavourable
exchange rates may be applied which are different from the United
Nations exchange rates. Please consult your local bank regarding its
procedures and charges.
Bank charges. While JP Morgan Chase Bank, New York does not deduct any
bank charges, your bank or intermediary banks may deduct service fees
from incoming remittances. Please note that the United Nations does
not reimburse bank fees deducted by your bank or by any intermediary
bank.
C. If you are entitled to, and wish to receive payments in a currency
other than United States dollars
If you are so entitled (please check your entitlement with your
executive/administrative office), the United Nations Treasury will
make payments in currencies other than United States dollars. At
present, payments made are in the currencies listed below. You must
have a bank account in the country of your designated currency.
EUR (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland,
Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain), AUD (Australia),
CAD (Canada), CHF (Switzerland), DKK (Denmark), GBP (UK), INR (India),
JPY (Japan), NZD (New Zealand), NOK (Norway), SEK (Sweden)
United Nations official rates of exchange will be applied to calculate
your payment if you designate a currency other than United States
dollars for payment. Please note that in exceptional cases, payments
in currencies not listed above may be made through other United
Nations agencies. Details may be obtained from the relevant
section/unit in the Accounts Division.
#3. Bank ID number
United States ABA number (9 digits)
You may learn from your bank the ABA (American Bankers Association)
routing number of your bank. Alternatively, ABA number may be obtained
from your personal cheque. It is the first nine-digit number in the
lower left-hand corner of your personal cheque. You may wish to attach
a copy of your voided cheque or deposit slip for verification of the
ABA number.
Outside the SWIFT number (BIC code): International identification
number of bank
United States (8 or 11 digits alpha numeric number).
#4. Type of Account (necessary if your account is located in the
United States)
This information is necessary only if your bank account is located in
the United States. All bank accounts in the United States are
classified as either checking or savings accounts for the purpose of
receiving direct-deposit payments (ACH payments). You may have an
account of a different type, but for ACH purposes, your account is
classified as either checking or savings. If you are not sure of your
account type, please contact your bank to verify which account type
should be used for ACH purposes.
#5. IBAN (International Bank Account Number)
The new standard format of the account number was introduced and
adopted especially in euro countries to ensure the straight through
processing of the cross-border payments. If you have a euro account in
one of the European banks, your current bank statements would indicate
IBAN as well as your account number.
IBAN always start with 2 alpha codes for a country, followed by
alpha-numeric numbers of varying lengths depending on the country.

#6. Routing Instructions (important for cross-border United States
dollar payment)
If you request that a United States-dollar payment be made to your
account outside the United States, the United Nations will make
cross-border payments to credit your account. Complete and unambiguous
payment routing information will help to enable timely payments with
minimum bank charges. While this information is not a requirement to
complete the form, we recommend that you supply it after obtaining
guidance from your bank. It may be helpful for your bank to note that
the United Nations makes payments in United States dollars from JP
Morgan Chase Bank, New York. Please ascertain from your bank the name
of its correspondent bank in the United States. The routing
instruction should be as specific as possible to minimize fees.
