Gordon Capital Corporation SWIFT/BIC code

SWIFT/BIC code of Gordon Capital Corporation

GOCCCAM1 and GOCCCAM1XXX are the short and the long form of the same SWIFT/BIC code, and both point to Gordon Capital Corporation in Montreal. A SWIFT code shows the sending bank which institution is meant to get the money. In daily life you usually come across the code on international invoices, in your banking app and on the account details of Gordon Capital Corporation customers.

On this page you will find what the code means, when you need it and what else a transfer to or from Gordon Capital Corporation requires. The SWIFT code on its own cannot identify a personal account; that is what the IBAN or account number .

Why Gordon Capital Corporation has an 8- and an 11-character code

Each SWIFT/BIC code starts with an 8-character core: a four-letter bank code, a two-letter country code and two characters for the location. In this case, the 8-character core is GOCCCAM1.

Many banks and apps accept either length. If yours requires eleven characters, use GOCCCAM1XXX, otherwise GOCCCAM1 is fine.

Leave out spaces, dots when you type GOCCCAM1; the code is always written in one block. Look out for the letter O and the digit 0 or I versus 1.

Paying into Gordon Capital Corporation in CAD

Accounts at Gordon Capital Corporation are usually held in CAD, the local currency. When you pay money in a different currency, the amount gets converted somewhere along the way: by your bank, an intermediary or Gordon Capital Corporation itself. You rarely see a separate line for that conversion – the cost sits in the rate.

Who does the conversion affects the final amount. Check what CAD arrives via different providers before choosing one.

Rates for CAD change during the day. With bigger transfers, a seemingly small difference in the rate adds up quickly.

When will the money arrive at Gordon Capital Corporation?

How fast a transfer reaches Gordon Capital Corporation depends on several factors: 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 usually go out the next business day. Occasionally a bank wants to know about the purpose of a payment, which can hold things up.

When a payment takes longer than expected, contact the sending bank about the tracking status. Specialist transfer services usually provide tracking in their app showing how far the money has got.

If a payment has not arrived after a few business days, the sender should contact the bank that sent it, not the receiving bank. Ask the sender for the payment receipt – it helps your own bank look for the money.

Receiving money from abroad at Gordon Capital Corporation

To receive a transfer from abroad at Gordon Capital Corporation, the sender needs more than the BIC. That means: your name exactly as it appears on the account, your account number or IBAN, the SWIFT/BIC code GOCCCAM1XXX and sometimes your address.

Some sending banks also ask for the address of Gordon Capital Corporation. Double-check the details before you share them.

Expect that the amount credited is below what the sender paid. Intermediary banks may deduct a fee, and if the currency changes, an exchange rate margin applies. On invoices, it is common to state who bears the costs, so that nobody is left short.

Head office or branch code at Gordon Capital Corporation?

We have 2 SWIFT/BIC codes for Gordon Capital Corporation, spread over 2 locations. Next to the head office code GOCCCAM1XXX, there are codes for regional offices and specialised units.

Usually you do not need to look up a branch: transfers sent to GOCCCAM1XXX reach Gordon Capital Corporation correctly. When you receive a specific code, use it as it is rather than swapping it for the head office code.

The safest approach is to copy the code straight from the recipient’s statement. Codes are sometimes changed or retired over time, so a code from an old document is not always valid.

Paying someone abroad from your Gordon Capital Corporation account

If you send money abroad from Gordon Capital Corporation, the fee you see is only part of what you pay. There is the fee for the transfer itself, possibly charges from correspondent banks in between and, most importantly, the margin on the exchange rate.

Many banks rarely list the margin on the rate separately. Compare their rate with the mid-market rate – the rate you find on financial news sites; the gap is what conversion costs you.

For a lot of currency pairs, a transfer service turns out to be cheaper than a traditional bank transfer, mainly because of the exchange rate. GoldexPay compares the amount that arrives with different services, which makes the cheapest option easy to spot. You can always use your account at Gordon Capital Corporation as the source of the money.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Be alert if someone suddenly asks you to send money to a different account. That GOCCCAM1 is a real code does not mean that the account is genuine.

Do not rely on a phone number from the same email that announces the new account. Be suspicious of time pressure, unusual wording or an email address that differs by one letter. Already paid? Call your bank straight away and have them start a recall; also report it to the police.

Fraud can also work the other way: someone claims to have sent too much and asks you to refund the difference to a new account. Do not act before the money has really arrived.

Before you send: check the Gordon Capital Corporation code

Have the recipient copy their account details straight from their banking app. Compare it with GOCCCAM1 here.

Errors in the SWIFT code are annoying more than fatal: often the payment comes back, minus fees. A mistake in the account number is more serious because it can reach the wrong person.

Most online banking apps validate the structure of IBANs and sometimes look up the BIC automatically. Some banks now check the payee name against the account; take any warning seriously. For a first payment, many people send a small amount first before sending the rest.
