This page is meant to help anyone who sends money to an account at Bank of Credit and Commerce Cameroon S.A.. The SWIFT code alone cannot identify a personal account; for that you need the IBAN or account number .

How long does an international transfer to Bank of Credit and Commerce Cameroon S.A. take?

A SWIFT payment typically needs one to a few business days – it depends on currency, route and the banks in between. Weekends and public holidays in the sending or receiving country add extra days, since banks do not process on those days. Sometimes a bank wants to know about the purpose of a payment.

If a transfer seems delayed, contact your bank for the status or the UETR so they can trace it along the chain. Keep the payment confirmation until the recipient confirms; it contains the details a bank needs to start a trace.

A delayed transfer has to be traced by the sending bank on the basis of the transfer details. Request from the sender a copy of the payment confirmation – it helps your own bank look for the money.

Bank of Credit and Commerce Cameroon S.A.: head office code versus branch codes

Bank of Credit and Commerce Cameroon S.A. has 3 separate SWIFT/BIC codes. Only one is the head office code; the others belong to branches or departments, and sometimes specific services.

For most incoming transfers, the head office code CCCBCMC1XXX is what you need. When you receive a specific code, stick to it instead of replacing it for the head office code.

When in doubt, check with the recipient for the exact BIC in their bank details. Codes can change over time, so do not rely on old paperwork.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

One of the most common tricks works like this: you receive a request saying that a supplier now has new bank details and that the next payment should go there. The fact that CCCBCMC1 exists does not mean that the account is genuine; criminals use the codes of real banks too.

Always verify changed bank details through a phone call, using a number you already had. Watch out for urgent requests, odd spelling or a sender address that is slightly off. If a payment was sent to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately.

People receiving money can be targeted as well: one known trick is a buyer who pays too much followed by a request to send back the difference. Do not act before the money is actually in your account – ask Bank of Credit and Commerce Cameroon S.A. if something looks wrong.

Getting paid from abroad into a Bank of Credit and Commerce Cameroon S.A. account

For an international payment into your account at Bank of Credit and Commerce Cameroon S.A., the sender has to have more than the BIC. The basics are: the account holder’s name, account number or IBAN, CCCBCMC1XXX and in many cases your home address.

Their bank may also ask for the bank address of Bank of Credit and Commerce Cameroon S.A., in which case the Garoua head office is the usual answer. Double-check the details before you send them – a sender rarely spots a mistake in someone else’s details.

What lands in your account can be less than the amount sent. Fees for incoming transfers differ from bank to bank; check the price list of Bank of Credit and Commerce Cameroon S.A.. For business payments, you can agree how the fees are split.

About this information

Our SWIFT/BIC directory is compiled from public sources. Banks reorganise, close branches and change codes. Figures such as the number of codes are from our own dataset and are not confirmed by Bank of Credit and Commerce Cameroon S.A..

Paying someone abroad from your Bank of Credit and Commerce Cameroon S.A. account

What you pay for a payment abroad has several parts. On top of a fixed fee, banks in between may take a cut, and if currencies are converted the bank usually applies a rate that is less favourable than the real market rate.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate, not in the fee: many banks convert using an exchange rate that includes a margin. Check the rate you are offered against the mid-market rate; the gap is what conversion costs you.

Specialised transfer providers often use a rate near the mid-market rate and lower fees. GoldexPay compares transfer providers next to each other so you can see the amount the recipient gets. You can always use your account at Bank of Credit and Commerce Cameroon S.A. to fund the transfer; only the conversion and sending happen elsewhere.

Before you send: check the Bank of Credit and Commerce Cameroon S.A. code

The most reliable source for a SWIFT code is the recipient’s own bank details: an invoice, a bank statement or their online banking. Compare that code against CCCBCMC1 on this page and ask if anything does not match.

A wrong SWIFT code may lead to delays, a returned payment or additional charges for investigation. An error in the account number is a bigger problem, because the money may be credited to someone else.

A format check by your bank merely tells you that the IBAN is valid, not that it is the right account. Where available, a name check before sending adds an extra layer of safety. For a first payment, many people send a small amount first.

CCCBCMC1 or CCCBCMC1XXX – which one to use?

A SWIFT code is made up of fixed blocks: characters one to four stand for the bank, the next two give the country and characters seven and eight indicate the location. In this case, that core is CCCBCMC1.

XXX at the end of CCCBCMC1XXX does not stand for a placeholder or a mistake: it stands for the main office of Bank of Credit and Commerce Cameroon S.A.. Certain payment forms insist on 11 characters, and then you can enter XXX after CCCBCMC1.

Do not add spaces, dots when you type CCCBCMC1. Pasting the code is safer than typing it by hand.
