What We Do

Banking Services provides banking products and services to our campus community. We are committed to constantly improving and updating banking products and services. Clemson University is an agency of the State of South Carolina and, consequently, must exercise control over the use of its name and tax identification number. All University banking processes, procedures and financial decisions are centrally administered by Cash and Treasury Services. The State of South Carolina has established contracts with a variety of financial institutions, and we must adhere to these agreements. This webpage may change periodically and will contain descriptions of departmental banking requirements and general announcements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Swift Code?
The Swift Code is an international code used in transmitting international wires. It assists the sending bank in identifying the location of the receiving financial institution. This code is necessary for all international wire transfers. This code may be obtained from the receiving bank.

What is an ABA number?
The ABA number, also referred to as the bank routing number, is a nine-digit sequence used for identifying domestic financial institutions. The ABA number must be known to complete a domestic electronic transfer. This number may be obtained from the receiving financial institution.

When will my domestic wire be received?
A domestic wire will be posted to the receiving bank account the same day as it is sent.

Is the ABA number the same for an ACH or wire?
It can be but not necessarily. Be certain that when you inquire about the ACH, you specify whether you intend to send the transfer via an ACH or wire.
