If necessary, enter the SWIFT and/or IBAN numbers. Designate the amount of money you wish to transfer and click submit. These instructions may vary slightly with different banks, but in general, they will be the same or very similar.

Go to your bank and tell the cashier that you would like to make an international bank transfer. Most banks will have to fill out and sign a form. The form will ask you for your account information, the amount of the transfer along with the route and the number of the receiving account. The cashier will be able to enter the information you have provided on the equipment and complete the rest of the transfer for you.
