Union Bank Routing Number

What is the routing number for Union Bank? Read on to find out.

A routing number is a 9-digit number that banks use to identify themselves. Think of it as an address that lets other banks know where to find your money.

You need your routing number for tasks like:

• ACH payments
  
• Setting up direct deposit
  
• Receiving benefits from the government, including tax refunds
  
• Transferring money between accounts at different banks or investment firms
  
• Automatic bill payment
  
• Domestic wire transfers

Banks that have branches in more than one state usually have more than one routing number. Union Bank, owned by MUFG, has personal banking branches in California, Oregon, and Washington with different routing number for each state.

Routing Numbers for Domestic/International Wire Transfers

Wire transfers are a faster way to send money than an ACH transfer. They typically cost a small fee.

You can initiate a wire transfer from your online account or a local Union Bank branch.

To do it online:

1. Find the Transfers tab within your online bank portal

2. Select the type of transfer you'd like to make. If it's your first wire transfer, you'll have to verify your identity using a phone number.

For Domestic Wire Transfer
Union Bank uses a separate routing number different from the state routing numbers. Use this number instead: 122000496.

You'll need the following information to SEND a domestic wire:

• The name of the person to whom you're wiring funds (the "beneficiary") as it appears on their account

• The name and address of the beneficiary's bank

• The routing number of the beneficiary's bank

• The beneficiary's account number

To Make Or Receive An International Transfer
Use the Union Bank SWIFT code BOFCUS33MPK.

SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) codes are the international equivalents of US routing numbers. They direct the money to the correct bank for international transfers.

You'll also need the following information to SEND an international wire:

• The name of the person to whom you're wiring funds ("the beneficiary") as it appears on their account

• The name and address of the beneficiary's bank

• The beneficiary's account number

• The SWIFT Code of your bank and the bank you are sending to

• Currency being sent

Before submitting a wire transfer for processing, it's a good idea to double-check you have all the necessary information entered correctly.
