We collect bank codes from publicly available data and update them regularly. Still, banks merge or change codes. The number of codes we show reflect our own data.

See the information here as a handy check and rely on the recipient or Mashreqbank Psc. for the final confirmation. GoldexPay is independent of Mashreqbank Psc.. Should you notice a mistake, we welcome a message via the contact page.

BOMLBHBM or BOMLBHBMXXX – which one to use?

Each SWIFT/BIC code has an 8-character core: a four-letter bank code, two letters for the country and a two-character location code. The result is BOMLBHBM for Mashreqbank Psc..

Most banks and apps work with both lengths. If yours asks for eleven characters, enter BOMLBHBMXXX, otherwise BOMLBHBM is fine.

Leave out spaces when you enter BOMLBHBM or BOMLBHBMXXX. A wrong letter may route the money to a different institution, so check it twice.

Incoming international payments to Mashreqbank Psc.

To receive an international payment into your account at Mashreqbank Psc., the sender needs not just the SWIFT code. That means: your full name exactly as it appears on the account, your account number or IBAN, the BIC BOMLBHBMXXX and sometimes your address.

The sender’s bank may request the bank address of Mashreqbank Psc., in which case the Manama head office is the usual answer. A typo in the IBAN is harder to fix than it looks.

What lands in your account can be lower than what was sent. Correspondent banks can take a fee, Mashreqbank Psc. may charge for incoming payments, and if the money is converted, an exchange rate margin comes on top. Make clear with the sender who pays which costs before the money is sent.

Verifying the SWIFT code of Mashreqbank Psc.

The best place to find the right code remains a document from the bank itself, such as a statement or the account details in online banking. Compare it with BOMLBHBM here and ask if anything does not match.

Mistakes in the SWIFT code tend to be costly rather than fatal: often the payment comes back, minus fees. Remember the IBAN: an error there can be harder to correct than a wrong code.

Many 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 name with the account before you confirm – do not ignore a mismatch warning. A small test payment is worth it for a large first payment despite the extra fee.

Sending money abroad from Mashreqbank Psc.

A bank transfer abroad costs rather more than the fee suggests. There is the fee for the transfer itself, sometimes charges from correspondent banks in between and, above all, the margin on the exchange rate if the currency changes.

The real cost is often in the rate, rather than in the fee: the bank converts at a rate that includes a margin. Compare the rate you are offered against the mid-market rate – the rate you find on financial news sites.

Money transfer services often use a rate near the mid-market rate and lower fees. GoldexPay compares what recipients receive across services, so you can pick the cheapest route. You can still use your account at Mashreqbank Psc. to fund the transfer, while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

Watch out for payment fraud

Fraudsters regularly use fake invoices containing new bank details. The fact that BOMLBHBM exists is no guarantee that the account is genuine.

Check new bank details via a different channel, never via the email that asked for the change. Watch out for time pressure, odd spelling or a sender address that is slightly off. When money has already gone to the wrong account, call your bank right away.

People receiving money are targeted too: a classic trick is an overpayment and then sends a request to refund the difference abroad. A payment confirmation from the sender is no proof – check your own account.

When will the money arrive at Mashreqbank Psc.?

How quickly a transfer reaches Mashreqbank Psc. is determined by a few things: which currency you send, how many intermediary banks are involved, cut-off times and differences in time zone. Payments made late in the day or on a weekend or public holiday often start a business day later. Extra checks by one of the banks may also add a delay, regardless of the details.

A growing number of banks are connected to SWIFT gpi for faster and traceable payments. Each gpi transfer carries a unique transaction reference, the UETR. Save your transfer receipt – you will need it for any trace request.

If a payment has not arrived after a few business days, the sender needs to contact the bank that sent it rather than Mashreqbank Psc.. Ask the sender for a copy of the payment confirmation including the reference; that often settles the question quickly.

Which of the 2 codes of Mashreqbank Psc. do you need?

We have 2 SWIFT/BIC codes for Mashreqbank Psc. in 1 cities. Besides the head office code BOMLBHBMXXX, there are codes for regional offices and specialised units.

For most payments to a private or business account, the head office code BOMLBHBMXXX works fine. Branch codes are only needed when the account holder explicitly mentions it, which is more common for business accounts and trade services.

When in doubt, ask the person you are paying for the exact BIC in their bank details. Codes are sometimes changed or retired when banks reorganise, so a code from an old document is not always valid.
