You should alert UC Berkeley that a wire transfer has been made. Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers, on the other hand, can be sent only from domestic banks, and a unique routing number must be used for ACH transfers: 121000358. ACH transfers will not work from international banks. Please contact us for help with a wire transfer or ACH transfer at either 510.642.6855 or gifthelp@berkeley.edu.
