Routing number vs. account number

These two numbers do different jobs and are easy to mix up.

Your account number is private and unique to you; it identifies the specific account that should be credited or debited. A direct deposit or transfer needs both, in the right fields.

Wire transfers to NASA FCU

For a domestic wire, the sending bank needs the NASA FCU routing number 255077833, your full account number and the account holder's name. Wires typically settle the same business day when sent before the cut-off time. For international wires, ask the credit union whether an intermediary bank or additional identifier is required before the funds are sent, since incoming foreign wires can route differently. When in doubt, call NASA Federal at 1-888-NASA-FCU (1-888-627-2328) to confirm the current instructions.
