Quick answer
NASA FCU publishes separate wire instructions and a fee schedule, so wire problems can be addressed with institution-specific beneficiary information, channel requirements and current fees rather than ACH guidance.
Published rules for this service
NASA FCU’s consumer wire instructions offer digital banking through Move Money, then Wires, plus branch and form submission. The page lists $15 for domestic and $60 for international sending. Incoming wires require the member EPN and routing number 255077833. NASA receives only U.S. currency and is not part of SWIFT; international incoming transfers use a correspondent bank. Confirm the exact receiving instructions before sending. A wire still at NASA can be canceled; after processing, contact support to discuss retrieval options.
Decision path
For an outgoing wire, verify the payee’s bank instructions, including SWIFT/BIC where applicable. For an international wire into NASA, the sender needs a correspondent bank because NASA is outside SWIFT. If already sent, preserve the reference and ask the relevant institution to trace it; obtain any return reason before resending.
What to do next
Keep the reference and the instructions used. For a cancellation or retrieval request, call NASA FCU at 1-888-627-2328 promptly. Cancellation is available while the wire is still at NASA; once processed, support can review retrieval options without guaranteeing recovery.
Important limits
Use the current wire instructions and fee schedule. ACH timing does not apply. Same-day delivery depends on the exact wire service and transaction conditions.

Wire checklist
Record domestic/international direction, wire instructions used, beneficiary bank/account identifiers, submission time, confirmation/reference, current status and fee schedule version. Verify beneficiary details independently before resending any returned wire.
FAQ
Should an international sender use NASA as a direct SWIFT recipient? NASA says it is not part of SWIFT and requires a correspondent bank. What identifier does the incoming wire use? Its consumer instructions specify the member EPN. Can I cancel after processing? Contact support about retrieval; the page only confirms cancellation while the wire is still at NASA.
Related but different
For money coming into NASA, use the member EPN and current receiving instructions. For money leaving NASA, obtain the destination bank’s instructions from the payee. Those directions require different identifiers; ACH and Zelle instructions cannot replace them.
