In This Issue
International Wire Service No Longer Offered
Beginning May 15, 2013, CORE Credit Union will no longer be
offering outgoing international wire services. New federal laws
regarding international wire disclosure and compliance will inhibit
CORE Credit Union from effectively and affordably offering these
services. We encourage our members to utilize the services of
reputable wire service organizations such as Western Union or
Moneygram. We apologize for this unavoidable inconvenience.
