How do I send a wire from Vanguard to my bank?
Step 1
First, navigate to Buy & Sell under the main navigation My Accounts tab.
The money you are wiring must come from a Vanguard mutual fund or your settlement fund. When you sell brokerage products the proceeds from that sale automatically go to your settlement fund.

Select Sell Vanguard funds in the Vanguard mutual funds section.
Step 3
Next, on the Sell Vanguard funds page, select the account you want to sell from in the Where’s the money coming from? section.
Step 4
Check the box next to the account you want to sell from and enter the amount you’d like to sell. You can enter a dollar, percentage, or share amount or select Sell all shares. ClickCONTINUE.
In order to wire money, an amount of $1,000.00 or greater must be entered for each holding you're redeeming.
Step 5
In the Where’s the money going? section, confirm that the bank account you’ve selected is correct. Change your selection if necessary.
In the Select a method section, choose Wire and then click CONTINUE.
Note: Vanguard Brokerage charges a $10 wire fee for each holding you are redeeming from. (The fee is this fee is waived for clients who hold at least $1 million in qualifying Vanguard assets.)
*Check with your bank to determine if it charges a fee to receive wire transactions.
Step 6
If you’re selling from an IRA, you’ll need to make a tax withholding choice. You can choose your federal holding amount in percentages, dollars, state minimums, or a combination. You can also choose to print a copy of this choice, have a copy emailed, or sent through U.S. Mail. Once you’ve made your selection, click the CONTINUE button.
Step 7
On the Review and submit page, review the details of your transaction. When you’re ready to proceed, click SUBMIT. You’ll be taken to a Confirmation screen that will show the details of your transaction.
