Banco Supervielle SWIFT/BIC code

SWIFT/BIC code of Banco Supervielle

The short code BSUPARBA and the full code BSUPARBAXXX identify the same bank: Banco Supervielle in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The code does one job: it makes sure that an international payment reaches the right bank. You will need it mostly for transfers between countries.

Below you will find the practical questions: money coming in from abroad, paying someone in another country and how to check a SWIFT code before you hit send. Keep in mind that the SWIFT code only identifies the bank, not the person: the account number or IBAN does that part.

Where our SWIFT data comes from

We collect SWIFT/BIC codes using publicly available data and check our list from time to time. Even so, banks merge, rename themselves or retire codes, so information can be out of date. Figures such as the number of codes come from our directory and may differ from what Banco Supervielle publishes.

For any payment that matters, always confirm the code with Banco Supervielle or the recipient. GoldexPay is independent of Banco Supervielle, we only compare transfer services. Should you notice a mistake, we welcome a message.

BSUPARBA or BSUPARBAXXX – which one to use?

Every SWIFT/BIC code starts with an 8-character core: a four-letter bank code, two letters for the country and two characters for the location. The result is BSUPARBA, the short form of the code.

Many banks and apps accept either length. If yours asks for eleven characters, enter BSUPARBAXXX, otherwise BSUPARBA is fine.

Type the code in one piece, in capitals and without separators. A single letter can send a payment to another bank, so copy it carefully.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

Be alert if someone unexpectedly wants you to pay into a different account. The fact that BSUPARBA exists is no guarantee that a request mentioning it is genuine; criminals use the codes of real banks too.

Do not trust a phone number in the same message that contains the new account. Urgency or requests to keep it quiet are warning signs – a real supplier can wait a day. Already paid? Call your bank without delay and have them start a recall and report the fraud.

People receiving money can be targeted as well: one known trick is an overpayment and then sends a request to refund the difference. A screenshot of a transfer proves nothing.

Is BSUPARBA still correct? How to check

Ask the recipient to copy their account details directly from a recent statement. Compare it with BSUPARBA here; if they differ, ask before you pay.

An incorrect BIC can cause a delay, a returned payment or extra fees. A mistake in the account number is a bigger problem, because the money may be credited to someone else, so check that just as carefully.

An automatic check by your bank only confirms that the code exists. If your bank offers it, a payee name check on the recipient adds extra certainty. Sending a small amount first can be a sensible step for a large first payment despite the extra fee.

Getting paid from abroad into a Banco Supervielle account

To receive a transfer from abroad into your account at Banco Supervielle, the person paying you has to have more than the SWIFT code. What they need is: your name, IBAN or account number, BSUPARBAXXX or BSUPARBA and often your postal address.

Certain banks want the name and address of Banco Supervielle, so keep it at hand. Double-check the details before you send them.

Expect that the incoming amount is below the amount on the sender’s receipt. Correspondent banks can take a fee, Banco Supervielle may charge for incoming payments, and if the money is converted, an exchange rate margin comes on top. For business payments, it is common to agree how the fees are split.

When will the money arrive at Banco Supervielle?

There is no single delivery time for international payments: some arrive the same day or the next, others take several business days. Transfers sent late in the day or on a weekend or public holiday usually start a business day later. Extra checks by one of the banks may also add a delay.

A growing number of banks are connected to SWIFT gpi, which lets them follow a payment from bank to bank. Each payment carries a unique transaction reference, the UETR that banks can use to trace it. Money transfer services often show a status in their app showing where the payment is.

If a payment has not arrived within the expected time, the person who paid needs to contact the bank that sent it, not the receiving bank. Request from the sender a copy of the payment confirmation including the reference.

Paying someone abroad from your Banco Supervielle account

If you send money abroad through Banco Supervielle, the fee you see is rarely all of what you pay. On top of the transfer fee, correspondent or intermediary banks can deduct a fee, and if the money changes currency the bank often uses a rate below the real market rate.

That exchange rate margin is often the largest item even though it is not listed as a fee. An easy check: put the rate you get against the mid-market rate for the same moment and look at the difference.

Money transfer services frequently use rates closer to the mid-market rate and lower fees. GoldexPay lists transfer providers next to each other so you can see what actually arrives for the same amount sent. You can always use your account at Banco Supervielle as the source of the money; only the conversion and sending happen elsewhere.

Banco Supervielle: head office code versus branch codes

Banco Supervielle has 5 different SWIFT/BIC codes. One of them is the head office code; the rest belong to branches or departments, and sometimes internal departments.

Unless the recipient tells you otherwise, use BSUPARBAXXX or its short form BSUPARBA. When you receive a specific code, use it as it is rather than replacing it with the head office code.

When in doubt, check with the recipient which code their bank gave them. Codes are sometimes changed or retired when banks reorganise, so do not rely on old paperwork.
