Banks worldwide use these codes to route international transfers to the correct bank. In practice you mostly come across it on international invoices, in payment forms and on the account details of Volksbank Steirisches Salzkammergut Registrierte Genossenschaft Mit Beschraenkter Haftung customers.

On this page we explain what the code is put together, when you need it and what else a transfer to or from Volksbank Steirisches Salzkammergut Registrierte Genossenschaft Mit Beschraenkter Haftung requires. A SWIFT code names a bank or branch, not a specific account.

8 or 11 characters: VOSSAT21 versus VOSSAT21XXX

A BIC is made up of fixed blocks: the first four letters identify the bank, characters five and six show the country and characters seven and eight indicate the location. For Volksbank Steirisches Salzkammergut Registrierte Genossenschaft Mit Beschraenkter Haftung, that core is VOSSAT21.

Many payment forms accept either length. If a form requires eleven characters, enter VOSSAT21XXX, otherwise VOSSAT21 is fine.

Enter the code in one piece, in upper case and without separators, exactly as shown here. A wrong character can send the money to another bank.

Incoming international payments to Volksbank Steirisches Salzkammergut Registrierte Genossenschaft Mit Beschraenkter Haftung

To receive a transfer from abroad into your account at Volksbank Steirisches Salzkammergut Registrierte Genossenschaft Mit Beschraenkter Haftung, the person paying you needs more than the BIC. What they need is: your name, IBAN or account number, VOSSAT21XXX or VOSSAT21 and often your home address.

Some sending banks want the name and address of Volksbank Steirisches Salzkammergut Registrierte Genossenschaft Mit Beschraenkter Haftung, so keep it at hand. Check each detail before you share them.

Do not be surprised if the incoming amount is below what the sender paid. Fees for incoming transfers differ from bank to bank. On invoices, it is common to agree who bears the costs to avoid a shortfall.

How to check VOSSAT21 before you pay

The safest source for the BIC is the bank details provided by the recipient – an invoice, a statement or a screenshot from online banking. Compare it against VOSSAT21 here; if they differ, ask before you pay.

Mistakes in the BIC are annoying rather than fatal – usually the money comes back, minus fees and time lost. An error in the account number can be a bigger problem, because the money may be credited to someone else, so check that just as carefully.

Many banking apps check the structure of IBANs and some suggest the matching BIC, but that does not prove the account belongs to the right person. If your bank offers it, a name check before sending gives an extra layer of safety. When you pay someone new, some people send a small test amount and wait for confirmation.

Watch out for payment fraud

A common scam goes like this: an email arrives with a request saying that a contact has a new bank account. That VOSSAT21 is a real code is no guarantee that a request mentioning it is legitimate; criminals use the codes of real banks too.

Verify new bank details via a different channel. Pressure and secrecy are red flags – a real supplier can wait a day. Acted too fast? Contact your bank straight away and have them start a recall; also report it to the police.

Fraud also target the receiver: someone sends more than agreed and wants you to return the extra to a new account. Do not act before the money is actually in your account – ask Volksbank Steirisches Salzkammergut Registrierte Genossenschaft Mit Beschraenkter Haftung if something looks wrong.

When will the money arrive at Volksbank Steirisches Salzkammergut Registrierte Genossenschaft Mit Beschraenkter Haftung?

How quickly a payment arrives at Volksbank Steirisches Salzkammergut Registrierte Genossenschaft Mit Beschraenkter Haftung depends on several factors: the currency, the number of banks in between, daily processing deadlines and time zones. Payments made after the cut-off time or on a weekend or public holiday usually start a business day later. Occasionally a bank asks about the purpose of a payment before releasing it.

When a payment takes longer than expected, ask your bank about the tracking status or the UETR so they can trace it along the chain. Money transfer services often show tracking in their app so you can see how far the money is.

A delayed transfer is investigated by the sending bank on the basis of the transfer details. As a recipient, it helps to check your account for a partial amount, since fees may have been deducted.
