A wrong SWIFT code can cause delays, a returned payment or additional charges for investigation. Remember the IBAN: an error there is more difficult to undo than a wrong code.

A format check in your banking app merely tells you that the code exists – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. More and more banks compare the payee name with the account before you confirm. When you pay someone new, some people start with a small test amount and wait for confirmation.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Scammers regularly use payment requests with changed bank details, sometimes in an email that looks completely genuine. A correct SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account – scammers simply use real codes.

Always verify a change of bank details through a phone call. Watch out for time pressure, odd spelling or a sender address that is slightly off. If money was sent to a fraudster, contact your bank immediately – speed improves the chance of getting it back.

Fraud can also target the receiver. Someone sends more than agreed and wants you to refund the difference to a new account. Do not act before the money is actually in your account – ask Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch if something looks wrong.
