Want to receive money via wire transfer?
The person wiring you money will need both Desert Financial’s routing number (122187238) and the incoming wires account number located on your “Account Details” tab in Online Banking.
Here’s how to locate it:
- Log in to Online Banking and click the name of the account you want your funds deposited into. Click on the “Account Details” tab and look for the incoming wires account number about halfway down the page, underneath your direct deposit number.
- If your 14-digit account number starts with 0, you must include the zeroes as well as the last four digits after the dash (this indicates whether it’s your checking account, savings account, money market account, etc.).
- You must include the dash. Not including the dash could prevent the incoming wire funds from being deposited into your account (example: 0004567890-0400).
