I may be needing to wire some money from my US bank to my Chinese ICBC account. My US bank requires the SWIFT code for my Chinese bank, as well as a SWIFT code for a "US Correspondent Bank". When I called ICBC to ask for this information, they didn't really seem to understand what I was talking about, and told me I only needed the info for the bank here in China. My US bank says that this definitely isn't enough info. I need to get a US Consulate Acknowledgement on my wire transfer form, so I don't really want to just try and see what happens if I only have the Chinese bank information.

Does anyone happen to know ICBC's "US Correspondent Bank" or the best way to ask for this information? Perhaps a Chinese translation of "US Correspondent Bank"?

Thanks.
