Before you send: check the Samsung Electronics Chile Limitada (Ltda) code
The best place to find the correct BIC is a document from the bank itself. When the code you were given differs from SECTCLR1 or SECTCLR1XXX, do not guess.

What a transfer from Samsung Electronics Chile Limitada (Ltda) abroad really costs
An international bank payment can cost rather more than the listed fee. Besides the transfer fee, correspondent or intermediary banks may take a cut, and if currencies are converted, the bank usually applies a rate that is less favourable than the real market rate.
The real cost is often in the rate: the bank converts at a rate with a margin built in. Check the rate you are offered against the mid-market rate, the midpoint between buy and sell rates you see on financial sites.
Money transfer services often use a rate near the mid-market rate with clearer fees. Before your next transfer, it is worth comparing the total cost on GoldexPay rather than accepting the bank’s rate by default. Using a transfer service does not require closing your account at Samsung Electronics Chile Limitada (Ltda): you simply pay the service from your account.
Transfer times and tracking a payment to Samsung Electronics Chile Limitada (Ltda)
How fast a payment reaches Samsung Electronics Chile Limitada (Ltda) depends on several factors: the currency, the number of banks in between, cut-off times and time zones. Bank holidays in the sending or receiving country can add extra days, since banks do not process on those days. Sometimes a bank asks about the purpose of a payment, which can hold things up.
Many banks use SWIFT gpi, which lets them follow a payment from bank to bank. Each payment carries a unique transaction reference, the UETR, which your bank can use to see where the money is. Save your transfer receipt.
Only the sending bank can start an official trace. On the receiving end, you can look at your account for a partial amount because fees can reduce the amount.
What to give a sender who pays you at Samsung Electronics Chile Limitada (Ltda)
A sender in another country will ask for a few details about your account, and missing ones are a common cause of delays. Give them the account holder’s name, your account number or IBAN, the BIC SECTCLR1XXX and your address.
It helps to include Samsung Electronics Chile Limitada (Ltda) and its city too, since some forms ask for it. A mistake in your account number can be harder to fix than it looks; copy them from your banking app rather than typing.
The amount you receive can be lower than what was sent. Intermediary banks may deduct a fee, and if the money is converted, an exchange rate margin applies. On invoices, it is common to agree how the fees are split.
Watch out for payment fraud
Fraudsters regularly send fake invoices containing changed bank details. That SECTCLR1 is a real code does not mean that the account is genuine.
Never trust contact details in the same message that announces the change. Be suspicious of time pressure, odd spelling or an email address that differs by one letter. When a payment was sent to a fraudster, call your bank right away – speed improves the chance of getting it back.
Fraud can also target the receiver: someone sends more than agreed and asks you to return the difference via a different route. A payment confirmation from the sender is no proof.
