International Treasury Services

The Bureau of the Fiscal Service provides international payment services to federal agencies allowing payments to be made in 140 currencies in more than 200 countries.

Federal agencies use the International Treasury Services (ITS) web application, ITS.gov, to issue payments to recipients in foreign countries. ITS can support payments in either foreign currency or USD depending on the needs of the federal agency and supports both one-time and recurring payments, including vendor, benefit, payroll, or other payment types.

Using Fiscal Service's ITS application, agencies can send payments to foreign countries in any of these ways:

• As electronic transfers in either U.S. dollar or foreign currency without a corresponding U.S. financial institution
• As a foreign currency check
• Through Western Union
