We wrote this page to help anyone who sends money to an account at Itau Unibanco S.a., Grand Cayman Branch without mistakes. Remember that the SWIFT code only identifies the bank, not the person: the IBAN or account number takes care of that.

Tracking a transfer to or from Itau Unibanco S.a., Grand Cayman Branch

There is no fixed answer for international payments: some arrive within a day, others take several business days. Weekends and public holidays in the sending or receiving country can add a day or more. Occasionally a bank wants to know about the purpose of a payment, which can hold things up.

When a payment takes longer than expected, ask the sending bank for the tracking status. Money transfer services usually show tracking online so you can see how far the money is.

A delayed transfer has to be traced from the sending side on the basis of the transfer details. On the receiving end, it helps to check your statements to see a partial amount because fees can reduce the amount.

Watch out for payment fraud

Stay alert when a contact suddenly asks you to send money to a different account abroad. A valid SWIFT code tells you nothing about who owns the account.

Never rely on contact details from the same email that contains the new account. Be suspicious of urgent requests, odd spelling or an email address that differs by one letter. Already paid? Contact your bank without delay and have them start a recall and report the fraud.

Recipients are targeted too: one known trick is an overpayment and then sends a request to send back the difference abroad. Do not act before the money is actually in your account and check with Itau Unibanco S.a., Grand Cayman Branch if anything seems off.

A note on our data

The details here come from publicly available data which we refresh regularly. Still, banks merge, rename themselves or retire codes, so information can be out of date. Figures such as the number of codes are from our directory and are not confirmed by Itau Unibanco S.a., Grand Cayman Branch.

Treat this page as a starting point, not as the last word – the bank details from the recipient are leading.

Sending money abroad from Itau Unibanco S.a., Grand Cayman Branch

The price of a payment abroad has more than one component – not just the fee on your screen. You pay the fee for the transfer itself, sometimes fees charged by intermediary banks in between and, above all, the margin on the exchange rate when the money is converted.

That exchange rate margin is often the largest item, and it is easy to miss. Compare their rate against the mid-market rate – the rate you find on financial news sites. The difference is your real conversion cost.

For many currency pairs, a specialist provider turns out to be cheaper than a traditional bank transfer – mostly thanks to the rate. GoldexPay compares the amount that arrives across services. You can still keep your account at Itau Unibanco S.a., Grand Cayman Branch to fund the transfer.

Getting paid from abroad into a Itau Unibanco S.a., Grand Cayman Branch account

A sender in another country will ask for a few details about your account, and missing ones are a common cause of delays. What they need is: your name, IBAN or account number, ITAUKYKCXXX and often your home address.

The sender’s bank may also ask for the address of your bank; the head office in Georgetown is usually fine. A mistake in your account number is harder to fix than it looks, so copy the details from your online banking.

What lands in your account can be lower than what was sent. Correspondent banks can take a fee, Itau Unibanco S.a., Grand Cayman Branch may charge for incoming payments, and if the money is converted, an exchange rate margin comes on top. Agree with the sender who pays which costs.

Is ITAUKYKC still correct? How to check

Have the recipient send you the account details straight from a recent statement. When the code you were given differs from ITAUKYKC or ITAUKYKCXXX, stop and ask – contact the recipient or Itau Unibanco S.a., Grand Cayman Branch.

Errors in the BIC tend to be annoying more than disastrous. Remember the IBAN: a mistake there can be more difficult to correct than a wrong BIC.

A format check by your bank merely tells you that the IBAN exists. More and more banks check the payee name against the account; take any warning seriously. A small test payment can be a sensible step for a large first payment despite the extra fee.

What the XXX in ITAUKYKCXXX means

The layout of a BIC is always the same: a bank code of four letters, a two-letter country code and a two-character location code, plus an optional branch code. In this case, that core is ITAUKYKC.

The 11-character version adds three more characters that identify a branch or department. If the last three are XXX, the code points to the head office, so ITAUKYKCXXX and ITAUKYKC are interchangeable.

Type the code in one piece, in capitals and without spaces, exactly as shown here. Pasting the code beats typing it by hand.

Which of the 2 codes of Itau Unibanco S.a., Grand Cayman Branch do you need?

Itau Unibanco S.a., Grand Cayman Branch uses 2 separate SWIFT/BIC codes. Only one is the head office code; the others belong to branches or departments.

Usually there is no need to look up a branch: payments sent to ITAUKYKCXXX reach Itau Unibanco S.a., Grand Cayman Branch correctly. When you receive a specific code, stick to it instead of replacing it for the head office code.

Unsure which code to use? Check with the recipient. Codes for branches are more prone to change than the head office code.
