This Filing Fee FEDWIRE Payment Template Can Help You Avoid Unnecessary Filing Delays
If a wire transfer of SEC filing fees does not contain the required information in the proper format, the acceptance of your filing could be delayed. It is critical that you provide to your sending bank or wire transfer service all required information – including the payor’s SEC-assigned CIK (Central Index Key) and the U.S. Treasury account number designated for SEC filers. To receive proper credit, this information must be inserted in the proper fields as well as in the proper format.
