If its an international wire transfer then you will need the banks international account number and your own, you can find these (if you're in the UK that is ) on the top right hand side of your statement

A SWIFT wire transfer requires;

Bank name

Bank "BIC" Code (IE CIBC head office in Toronto is "CIBCCATT")

Benificiaries local bank branch address and code

Beneficiaries name and account number



Your bank should be able to give you all that.

You seem to be missing the all important head office BIC code thats the top of the trickle down chain.

For reasons that escape me it can take 3 or 4 days or more for the money to make it into the end users account.

This is all new to me, the information that was in my original post was all that I needed last year to get the money.

This is right then:
Bank name: TD canada Trust
Swift code: TDOMCATTTOR
branch address:
branch #:
Account #:
Acount holder name:
Account holder address:

Is this right for a transfer from Australia? I just want everything to be right.

Just remember (and sorry if you already know this) that wire transfers aren't instant sometimes when my OH's wages are paid in the UK it takes up to 5 days for them to appear in our Canadian account.
