Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba SWIFT/BIC code

What CORDARBA means for a payment to Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba

Whether you are given CORDARBA or CORDARBAXXX, it is the same address for Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba in Argentina. A SWIFT code shows the sending bank exactly which bank should receive the money, much like a postcode for banks. It comes up mainly when dealing with transfers between countries or a currency.

We wrote this page to help anyone who sends money to an account at Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba without mistakes. The SWIFT code on its own cannot identify an individual account holder; that is what the account number or IBAN is for.

Tracking a transfer to or from Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba

There is no single delivery time for every transfer: some arrive within a day, others take several business days. Transfers sent late in the day or on a weekend or public holiday usually start the next business day. Compliance checks on larger or unusual payments can also add some delay, even when all details are correct.

If the money is late, ask the sending bank about the tracking status and the transaction reference so they can trace it along the chain. Keep your transfer receipt; it contains the details a bank needs to start a trace.

A missing payment is investigated by the sending bank. Ask the sender for the payment receipt with the date and reference – it helps your own bank look for the money.

Choosing between the 2 SWIFT codes of Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba

Having 2 codes, Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba belongs to the banks that register separate codes for parts of the organisation. The main code is CORDARBAXXX.

In most cases you do not need to look up a branch: transfers addressed to CORDARBAXXX are routed within Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba without problems. If you have been given a specific code, use it as it is instead of swapping it with the head office code.

The safest route is to copy the code directly from the account holder’s invoice. Branch codes are sometimes changed or retired over time.

What the XXX in CORDARBAXXX means

The layout of a BIC never changes: four characters for the institution, a two-letter country code and a two-character location code, sometimes followed by a branch code. In this case, the 8-character core is CORDARBA.

XXX at the end of CORDARBAXXX does not stand for a missing value or an error: it stands for the main office of Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba. Certain payment forms insist on 11 characters, in which case you simply add XXX after CORDARBA.

Enter the code in one piece, in upper case and without spaces, exactly as shown here. A wrong letter may route the money to a different institution, so check it twice.

Sending money abroad from Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba

What you pay for an international transfer has several parts – not just the fee on your screen. Besides a fixed fee, correspondent or intermediary banks may deduct a fee, and when the money changes currency, the bank usually uses a rate that is less favourable than the actual market rate.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate, rather than in the fee: the bank converts at a rate that includes a margin. A simple test: put the rate you get next to the mid-market rate and look at the difference.

For a lot of currency pairs, a specialist provider is cheaper than a traditional bank transfer. Before your next transfer, take a minute comparing what arrives via GoldexPay instead of going straight to your bank. You can still keep your account at Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba.

Receiving money from abroad at Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba

For a transfer from abroad into your account at Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba, the sender needs not just the BIC. What they need is: your name, account number or IBAN, CORDARBAXXX or CORDARBA and in many cases your postal address.

Their bank may also ask for the bank address of Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba, in which case the Buenos Aires head office is the usual answer. A typo in the IBAN is more trouble than it looks; copy them from your banking app rather than typing.

An incoming payment does not always land in full. Charges on incoming payments differ per bank – the price list of Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba tells you what applies. Agree with the sender who covers the fees before the money is sent.

How up to date is this code?

The codes on this page are taken from publicly available data that we update regularly. Institutions merge, change names and change codes. Figures such as the number of codes are from our directory and may differ from what Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba publishes.

For a payment of any size, always confirm the code with the recipient’s bank or the recipient. GoldexPay has no connection to Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba; we are a comparison site for money transfers. If you notice a mistake, we welcome a short note.

Before you send: check the Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba code

The safest source for a SWIFT code is the recipient’s own bank details – an invoice, a statement or a screenshot from online banking. If the code you have does not match CORDARBA or CORDARBAXXX, stop and ask: check with the recipient or with Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba directly.

A wrong SWIFT code may lead to delays, a returned payment or additional charges. Remember the account number: an error there is harder to correct than a wrong BIC.

Many banking apps validate the format of IBANs and some suggest the matching BIC. Where available, a payee name check on the recipient gives an extra layer of safety. When you pay someone new, many people start with a small test amount and wait for confirmation.

Changed bank details? Be careful

Be wary if a contact suddenly wants you to send money to a different account or a bank in another country. The fact that CORDARBA exists does not mean that the account is legitimate; criminals use the codes of real banks too.

Do not trust a phone number from the same email that contains the change. Pressure or secrecy tend to be red flags – a real supplier can wait a day. Already paid? Contact your bank without delay and have them try to recall the payment.

Recipients are targeted too: a classic trick is a buyer who pays too much and then sends a request to refund the difference abroad. Do not act before the money is actually in your account and check with Banco de la Provincia de Cordoba if anything seems off.
