Wire transfers have historically been used to transfer funds between financial institutions when time was of the essence. More recently, the use of wire transfers has fallen by the wayside as the fees incurred by the donor have become quite substantial.

While Duke University will gladly accept wire transfers, we suggest that when our donors are trying to meet a deadline (i.e. June 30th or December 31st) that they either charge their gift to a credit card, or "overnight" the donation for next day delivery.

If you wish to make a wire transfer, contact Alumni & Development Records at (919) 684-2338.
