App Securities Pty LTD SWIFT/BIC code

What APSPAUS1 means for a payment to App Securities Pty LTD

The short code APSPAUS1 and the 11-character code APSPAUS1XXX refer to one and the same institution: App Securities Pty LTD. The code does one job: it makes sure that an international payment reaches the right bank. In practice you usually come across the code on invoices from abroad, in your banking app and on the account details of App Securities Pty LTD customers.

On this page you will find what the code is put together, when you need it and what else you need for a transfer to or from App Securities Pty LTD. The SWIFT code alone does not identify an individual account holder; for that you need the IBAN or account number .

How to check APSPAUS1 before you pay

The best place to find the right code remains a document from the bank itself. If the code you have does not match APSPAUS1 or APSPAUS1XXX, do not guess.

A wrong SWIFT code can cause delays, a returned payment or extra fees along the way. Remember the IBAN: an error there can be more difficult to correct than a wrong BIC.

Most online banking apps validate the structure of IBANs and some suggest the matching BIC, but that does not prove the account belongs to the right person. Some banks now check the payee name against the account – do not ignore a mismatch warning. When you pay someone new, some people start with a small test amount and wait for confirmation.

The Australian Dollar and what conversion costs you

The local currency in Australia is the Australian Dollar (AUD). Money sent in a different currency is converted into AUD, and whoever converts it chooses the rate. Each conversion eats into something.

Who does the conversion affects the final amount, as rates and margins differ per bank. Sending the money already in AUD often avoids an extra conversion – as long as your own rate is good.

The rate for AUD changes throughout the day and quotes are often valid only for a short time. If you pay regularly, small differences in the rate make a real difference over time.

8 or 11 characters: APSPAUS1 versus APSPAUS1XXX

Every SWIFT/BIC code starts with the same eight core characters: four letters for the bank, two letters for the country and a two-character location code. Combined, those parts form APSPAUS1.

The full version has three more characters for a branch or department. When those three characters are XXX, they simply mean the head office.

Type the code as one block, in capitals and without separators, exactly as shown here. A single letter may route a payment to another bank.

Incoming international payments to App Securities Pty LTD

Someone abroad who wants to pay you needs a few details from you, and missing ones are a common cause of delays. That means: your full name as registered with App Securities Pty LTD, your IBAN or account number, the BIC APSPAUS1XXX and sometimes your address.

Some sending banks want the bank’s address in Sydney; it does no harm to include it. A typo in the IBAN is harder to fix than you might think, so copy the details from your online banking.

Do not be surprised if the amount credited is below what the sender paid. Correspondent banks can take a fee, and if the currency changes, an exchange rate margin comes on top. Make clear with the sender who covers the fees.

Where our SWIFT data comes from

The details here are taken from publicly available data that we update regularly. Institutions merge, close branches and change codes, and a directory never catches every change immediately. Counts and locations are from our own dataset and are not confirmed by App Securities Pty LTD.

For any payment that matters, check the BIC with App Securities Pty LTD or the recipient. GoldexPay is not affiliated with App Securities Pty LTD. If you notice a mistake, we appreciate a message.

Choosing between the 2 SWIFT codes of App Securities Pty LTD

With 2 codes, App Securities Pty LTD belongs to the banks that use individual codes for branches. The main code remains APSPAUS1XXX.

In most cases you do not need to look up a branch: transfers addressed to APSPAUS1XXX reach App Securities Pty LTD without problems. Only use a branch code when the recipient explicitly asks for it, for example on an invoice or in their bank details.

The safest route is to copy the code directly from the recipient’s invoice. Codes for branches are more prone to be retired than APSPAUS1XXX when a bank merges or closes offices.

Changed bank details? Be careful

Be wary when someone unexpectedly wants you to send money to another account or a bank in another country. A valid SWIFT code tells you nothing about who owns the account: scammers use real codes of real banks.

Never trust contact details from the same email that contains the new account. Be suspicious of time pressure, odd spelling or a sender address that is slightly off. Already paid? Call your bank without delay and ask them to try to recall the payment and report the fraud.

Scams also work the other way: someone claims to have sent too much and asks you to return the difference. Wait until the money is actually in your account and check with App Securities Pty LTD if anything seems off.

When will the money arrive at App Securities Pty LTD?

There is no single delivery time for every transfer: some land within a day while others need several business days. Transfers sent after the cut-off time or on a weekend or public holiday often go out a business day later. Occasionally a bank wants to know about the purpose of a payment, which can hold things up.

Many banks use SWIFT gpi, which lets them follow a payment from bank to bank. Each gpi transfer carries a unique reference, the UETR. Save your transfer receipt until the recipient confirms – you will need it for any trace request.

A delayed transfer has to be traced from the sending side. Request from the sender the payment receipt with the date and reference.

International transfers from App Securities Pty LTD: the real cost

What you pay for a payment abroad is made up of more than one component. There is the transfer fee, possibly fees charged by intermediary banks along the way and, most importantly, the margin on the exchange rate if the currency changes.

Many banks do not show their exchange rate markup as a cost – you only notice it if you compare. Check the rate you are offered against the mid-market rate; the gap is what conversion costs you.

Specialised transfer providers frequently use a rate near the mid-market rate. Next time you send money, it is worth to compare what arrives via GoldexPay rather than accepting the bank’s rate by default. Choosing a specialist does not require closing your account at App Securities Pty LTD – you pay the provider from your own account.
