Payroll Wire to Foreign Bank Accounts - Addendum to Direct Deposit Agreement

Do I have to set up a payroll wire to a foreign bank account?

Reliant is able and willing to wire payroll to foreign bank accounts if the employee wishes this service. This is optional and many employees choose to use US bank accounts for receiving their payroll while living at their international location. If you do wish to set up a payroll wire to a foreign bank account, there are extra steps needed. Please read instructions below and allow for the extra time involved to set up these wire transfers. For further information contact Employment Services at payroll@reliant.org.

What do I need to do to set up a payroll wire?

To authorize Reliant to wire a portion of your monthly paycheck into an International bank account, please complete the Bank of America Global Payments Addendum to Direct Deposit Agreement (provided below). This form serves as an addendum to the domestic direct deposit program, for payroll, provided by Reliant Mission. Completed forms must be received by the Reliant Employment Services Department before the last business day of the month, for the change to impact the following month's pay date. In most cases, an initial test wire of $50 will be sent by Reliant to the international bank account listed on the submitted form, to ensure the wire template is properly routing funds to the worker's international bank account. This $50 test wire amount will be deducted from the first month's payroll wire amount. 

By submitting this form, the Reliant International Worker authorizes Reliant Mission to wire the specified amount of payroll funds through Bank of America Global Payments division, with foreign currency conversion and further settlement to the international bank account specified on the submitted Bank of America Global Payments Addendum to Direct Deposit Agreement. Please call your financial institution to verify your international banking information before submitting this form. Reliant Mission will not be responsible for any mishandling of funds due to incorrect information supplied on the Bank of America Global Payments Addendum to Direct Deposit Agreement. Reliant Mission has no control over exchange rates provided by Bank of America's Global Payments wire department. Bank of America releases funds according to the request of Reliant Mission however, Reliant Mission nor Bank of America has control over the acknowledgement or receipt of funds at your international bank.

The wire fee charged by Bank of America to Reliant Mission will be charged directly to the MTD account for which the to Reliant International Worker is responsible.
