Morgans Financial Limited SWIFT/BIC code

ABAOAU41 – the SWIFT/BIC code of Morgans Financial Limited

ABAOAU41 and ABAOAU41XXX are the short and the long form of the same SWIFT/BIC code, and both lead to Morgans Financial Limited in Brisbane. A SWIFT code shows the sending bank exactly which bank should receive the money, a bit like a postal address for banks. In daily life you usually see it on invoices from abroad, in payment forms and in the bank details that Morgans Financial Limited provides.

Further down we go through 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 BIC just identifies the bank, not the account: the account number or IBAN takes care of that.

Receiving money from abroad at Morgans Financial Limited

A sender in another country needs several details about your account – incomplete details often cause delays. In practice that means: your name as registered with Morgans Financial Limited, your IBAN or account number, the BIC ABAOAU41XXX (or ABAOAU41) and usually your postal address.

It helps to include the bank name and Brisbane as well, since some forms ask for it. A mistake in your account number is harder to fix than it looks.

What lands in your account can be lower than the amount sent. Fees for incoming transfers differ per bank – the price list of Morgans Financial Limited tells you what applies. On invoices, you can state who bears the costs.

A note on our data

The directory on GoldexPay is compiled from public sources and is updated regularly. It can happen that a code here is no longer current after a merger or reorganisation. The figures we show reflect what is in our directory and not on information from Morgans Financial Limited itself.

For any payment of any size, confirm the BIC with Morgans Financial Limited or with the recipient. We are a comparison site and not part of Morgans Financial Limited. Should you notice a mistake, we welcome a short note.

International transfers from Morgans Financial Limited: the real cost

A bank transfer abroad can cost more than the listed fee. You pay the fee for the transfer itself, sometimes charges from correspondent banks along the way and, most importantly, the exchange rate markup if the currency changes.

Many banks rarely list their exchange rate markup as a cost – you only notice it if you compare. A simple test: set the rate you get next to the mid-market rate for the same moment and look at the difference.

Money transfer services frequently offer a rate near the mid-market rate. Next time you send money, take a minute comparing what arrives via GoldexPay. Using a transfer service does not require leaving Morgans Financial Limited – you pay the provider from your own account.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Morgans Financial Limited

There is no single answer for international payments: some arrive the same day or the next. Transfers sent late in the day or just before a weekend or public holiday usually start a business day later. Extra checks by one of the banks may also add a delay.

When a payment takes longer than expected, contact your bank about the tracking status and the transaction reference; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Keep your transfer receipt until the recipient confirms.

A missing payment has to be investigated from the sending side. Request from the sender the payment receipt with the date and reference.

What the XXX in ABAOAU41XXX means

A BIC is made up of a few fixed parts: the first four letters identify the bank, characters five and six show the country and characters seven and eight mark the location. For Morgans Financial Limited, the 8-character core is ABAOAU41.

The full version has three more characters for a branch or department. If the last three are XXX, the code points to the head office.

Type the code in one piece, in upper case and without separators. Look out for O versus 0 and I versus 1; they are easy to mix up.

Changed bank details? Be careful

A common scam goes like this: an email arrives with a request saying that a contact now has a new bank account and asking you to pay there from now on. A real SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account.

Always verify changed bank details by phone. Watch out for time pressure, unusual wording or an email address that differs by one letter. If a payment was sent to a fraudster, contact your bank immediately – speed improves the chance of getting it back.

Fraud also target the receiver: someone claims to have sent too much and asks you to return the difference. Wait until the money is actually in your account.

The Australian Dollar and what conversion costs you

Australia uses the Australian Dollar, code AUD. Money sent in a different currency will be converted into AUD on its way to Morgans Financial Limited – and the bank that does it picks the rate. Each conversion eats into the amount – usually through the rate rather than a fee.

Who converts the money matters. Check how much AUD arrives via several providers.

The AUD rate changes throughout the day and quotes are often valid only for a short time. For regular payments, small differences in the rate add up over a year.

Before you send: check the Morgans Financial Limited code

Have the recipient send you their account details directly from their banking app. Check it against ABAOAU41 here.

If the code is wrong, the transfer may get stuck, bounce back or end up costing more, and tracing it can take weeks. A mistake in the account number is a bigger problem; check it just as carefully.

Most online banking apps check the structure of an IBAN and sometimes look up the BIC automatically. Some banks now compare the payee name against the account before you confirm. Sending a small amount first can be worth it for large sums despite the extra fee.
