Due to the evolving outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Office of Treasury Management has made the following adjustments regarding the process of submitting wire requests to allow for electronic submission and documentation. When making wire payment requests, do not email the invoice separately to Accounts Payable, as this may lead to duplicate payments.
Our ability to initiate wires remotely will be limited and based on urgent need and an exception basis; as such follow the instructions below:
-
Email otm_wiretransferinquiry@harvard.edu with wire transfer form and associated backup, including invoice, as one single PDF document per request
- As wire request forms require signature for approval, we ask the PDF be signed for approval without the document being locked for edit
- Subject line must indicate: COVID-19 WIRE/DRAFT
Note on FX Wire Requests: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some currencies may be temporarily unavailable. Please refer to the following link for an up-to-date list of impacted currencies: https://business.westernunion.com/en-us/compliance-legal/treasury-bank-operations-update
