Receiving money from USA to UK

Ian3112

Hi
Need some help with a form i am trying to compete. I am due some compensation from a court case in USA. They have asked me to complete an online form and have asked for the following info :-
a) intermediary ABA routing No.
b) itermediary Swift/Bic code.
c) FFC A/C No
d) FFC A/C name
E) FFC A/C Number
F) IBAN number

The compensation is also being paid to USA citizens. 
As a UK citizen which of the above info do i need to supply
Many Thanks
ian

That's a curious mixture.  ABA is like a US equivalent of sort code.  Intermediary and FFC should not be needed (unless the target is a building society perhaps).

For most UK banks I'd think that IBAN would suffice.  Will the payment be in USD?  A Wise account (even in GBP*) will likely give a better FX conversion than a high street bank.

* Wise USD accounts seem to be paused for now.

You should just need to provide your account IBAN.

As for Wise, yes they seem to have issues with opening new USD balances at the moment, but as long as the sender sends in USD you can still provide the details of your Wise GBP account, and Wise will do the conversion into GBP using their rates/fees when they receive the payment.
