Below you will find the practical side: receiving money at Jpmorgan Chase Bank, N.a. - Bahrain Branch, paying someone in another country and how to verify the code before you confirm a payment.

The best place to find the correct BIC is a document from the bank itself like a bank statement or the account page in online banking. If the code you have does not match CHASBHBM or CHASBHBMXXX, stop and ask.

International transfers from Jpmorgan Chase Bank, N.a. - Bahrain Branch: the real cost

An international bank payment can cost more than the fee suggests. On top of the transfer fee, banks in between can take a cut, and when the money changes currency, the bank often uses a rate below the actual market rate.

Why Jpmorgan Chase Bank, N.a. - Bahrain Branch has an 8- and an 11-character code

A BIC is built from a few fixed parts: characters one to four identify the bank, the next two show the country and characters seven and eight indicate the location. The result is CHASBHBM, the short form of the code.

The long version has three more characters for a branch or department. If the last three are XXX, the code points to the head office, which is why CHASBHBMXXX and CHASBHBM lead to the same place.

Enter the code in one piece, in capitals and without separators. Watch for O versus 0 and the letter I and the digit 1; they are easy to mix up.
