BEACTDND – the SWIFT/BIC code of Banque des Etats de L'afrique Centrale D.n. Tchad

The 8-character code BEACTDND and the full code BEACTDNDXXX identify the same bank: Banque des Etats de L'afrique Centrale D.n. Tchad, with its head office in N'djamena. Every bank on the SWIFT network uses these codes to direct international transfers to the correct institution. In practice you mostly see the code on international invoices, in your banking app and on the account details that Banque des Etats de L'afrique Centrale D.n. Tchad provides.

Below we go through the practical questions: money coming in from abroad, sending money abroad and how to check a SWIFT code before you hit send. The SWIFT code alone does not identify a personal account; that is what the account number or IBAN is for.

Before you send: check the Banque des Etats de L'afrique Centrale D.n. Tchad code

The safest source for a SWIFT code is the recipient’s own bank details – an invoice, a statement or a screenshot from online banking. Compare it against BEACTDND on this page and ask if anything does not match.

A wrong SWIFT code may lead to delays, a returned payment or extra fees. Remember the account number: an error there is harder to undo than a wrong code.

Many banking apps check the format of an IBAN and some suggest the matching BIC, but that does not prove the account belongs to the right person. If your bank offers it, a payee name check on the recipient gives an extra layer of safety. For a first payment, some people send a small test amount and wait for confirmation.

A note on our data

Scams that use SWIFT codes

Stay wary when a contact unexpectedly wants you to send money to another account or a bank in another country. A real SWIFT code tells you nothing about who owns the account – scammers simply use real codes.

Always verify a change of bank details through a phone call. Pressure or requests to keep it quiet are red flags; a genuine business can wait for you to check. When a payment was sent to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately.

Fraud can also work the other way: someone sends more than agreed and wants you to return the extra via a different route. A payment confirmation from the sender is no proof.

Sending money abroad from Banque des Etats de L'afrique Centrale D.n. Tchad

An international bank payment costs rather more than the fee suggests. You pay the fee for the transfer itself, possibly charges from correspondent banks along the way and, most importantly, the exchange rate markup when the money is converted.

Many banks do not list the margin on the rate as a cost – you only notice it if you compare. A simple test: put the bank’s rate against the mid-market rate for the same moment and work out the difference on your amount.

Money transfer services often use rates closer to the mid-market rate and lower fees. GoldexPay compares transfer providers side by side, showing what actually arrives. You can always keep your account at Banque des Etats de L'afrique Centrale D.n. Tchad as the source of the money, while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

What the XXX in BEACTDNDXXX means

Every SWIFT/BIC code starts with the same eight core characters: a four-letter bank code, two letters for the country and two characters for the location. In this case, the 8-character core is BEACTDND.

XXX at the end of BEACTDNDXXX is not a placeholder or an error: it indicates the main office of Banque des Etats de L'afrique Centrale D.n. Tchad. Some banking apps ask for 11 characters, in which case you simply enter XXX after BEACTDND.

Do not add spaces when you type BEACTDND; the code is always written in one block. Pasting the code beats retyping it, because one wrong letter changes the bank.

Tracking a transfer to or from Banque des Etats de L'afrique Centrale D.n. Tchad

How fast a payment arrives at Banque des Etats de L'afrique Centrale D.n. Tchad depends on a few things: the currency, how many intermediary banks are involved, daily processing deadlines and differences in time zone. Weekends and public holidays in either country add extra days to the journey. Extra checks by one of the banks can also cause some delay, even when all details are correct.

A growing number of banks are connected to SWIFT gpi for faster and traceable payments. Every payment gets a unique transaction reference, the UETR. Save the payment confirmation – you will need it for any trace request.

A delayed transfer is traced from the sending side on the basis of the transfer details. On the receiving end, it helps to look at your account to see a partial amount, since fees may have been deducted.

What to give a sender who pays you at Banque des Etats de L'afrique Centrale D.n. Tchad

Someone abroad who wants to pay you needs a few details from you – incomplete details often cause delays. In practice that means: your full name exactly as it appears on the account, your account number or IBAN, the SWIFT/BIC code BEACTDNDXXX and usually your postal address.

You can add the bank name and its city as well, since some forms ask for it. Check each detail before you share them – a sender rarely spots a mistake in someone else’s details.

What lands in your account can be less than what was sent. Correspondent banks can take a fee, and when currencies differ, a markup on the rate comes on top. On invoices, it is common to state how the fees are split to avoid a shortfall.
