The person sending the wire transfer to your Creative Arts Financial account must provide the following information to their financial institution:
- Your name (account holder) and full address
- Your account number
- Your branch transit number and full branch address
- FirstOntario Credit Union's institution number: 828
- Applicable SWIFT code(s) and intermediary financial institution (see below for additional details)
If the account, name or address listed on the incoming wire transfer does not match exactly to your Creative Arts Financial profile, funds may be returned to the sender.
Once a wire payment has been sent from another financial institution, it takes three to five business days until Creative Arts Financial receives the funds. Timing depends on the currency sent, where the sending financial institution is geographically located, and how many intermediary banks the sending financial institution needed to use for the transfer.
In addition, you will need to provide the sender with the following information including our U.S. correspondent/intermediary bank:

If you hold a U.S. dollar account with Creative Arts Financial, ensure you provide the correct account for the currency you wish to receive.
