We partner with a correspondent bank to provide exchange rates for converting funds. This rate factors the cost of exchanging the funds in addition to the actual exchange rate. Prior to sending funds to be converted, you'll be quoted an exchange rate, which will include the total amount to be received. At this point, you'll have the option to agree to or decline the quoted rate. Once agreed to and authorized by you, the rate is "locked" in and will be sent according to that agreed upon rate.

Federal law requires that we obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. As such, we ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also request to see your driver's license and/or other identifying documentation. Additional information may also be required, depending on the country to which you're sending funds. There may be a delay in the transferring of funds as a result of this verification.
Confidential information such as account numbers and social security numbers should not be sent by email for security reasons. Instead, please contact us directly at 1-888-NASA-FCU, send us a secure message through Online Banking or Mobile Banking, or visit your nearest branch.
