Alliance Enterprise S.A.S. SWIFT/BIC code

SWIFT/BIC code of Alliance Enterprise S.A.S.

HUBCCOBB and HUBCCOBBXXX are two ways of writing the same bank identifier, and both point to Alliance Enterprise S.A.S. in Bogota. A SWIFT code tells the sending bank exactly which bank should receive the money, much like a postcode for banks. You will need it mostly when dealing with transfers between countries or a currency.

On this page we explain what the code is put together, when it matters and what else you need for a transfer to or from Alliance Enterprise S.A.S.. A SWIFT code names a bank or branch, not a single account, which is why you always need the account number too.

Watch out for payment fraud

One of the most common tricks goes like this: you receive a message claiming that a company has new bank details and asking you to pay there from now on. A correct SWIFT code tells you nothing about who owns the account: scammers use real codes of real banks.

Verify changed payment details through a different channel, such as a phone number you already know, never via the email that asked for the change. Watch out for urgent requests, odd spelling or an email address that differs by one letter. Already paid? Contact your bank without delay and have them try to recall the payment.

Scams also target the receiver: someone claims to have sent too much and asks you to return the extra. Do not act before the money is actually in your account – ask Alliance Enterprise S.A.S. if something looks wrong.

How to check HUBCCOBB before you pay

The best place to find the correct BIC remains a document from the bank itself like a bank statement or the account page in online banking. Compare that code with HUBCCOBB here.

An incorrect BIC can cause delays, a payment being sent back or additional charges for investigation. Remember the account number: a mistake there can be harder to correct than a wrong BIC.

A validity check by your bank only tells you that the IBAN is valid. If your bank offers it, a name check on the recipient gives extra certainty. For a first payment, some people start with a small test amount and wait for confirmation.

Where our SWIFT data comes from

The directory on GoldexPay draws on public sources and we update it periodically. Institutions reorganise, change names and change codes. The number of codes on this page are based on what is in our directory and not on information from Alliance Enterprise S.A.S. itself.

Treat our data as a starting point, not as the last word. GoldexPay is an independent comparison service and not affiliated with Alliance Enterprise S.A.S.. Spotted outdated information? Let us know via our contact form and we will look into it.

HUBCCOBB or HUBCCOBBXXX – which one to use?

The layout of a BIC never changes: a bank code of four letters, a two-letter country code and two for the location, sometimes followed by a branch code. For Alliance Enterprise S.A.S., that core is HUBCCOBB.

The long version has three more characters for a branch or department. If the last three are XXX, they simply mean the head office, so HUBCCOBBXXX and HUBCCOBB are interchangeable.

Type the code in one piece, in capitals and without spaces, exactly as shown here. Watch for the letter O and the digit 0 and the letter I and the digit 1.

How long does an international transfer to Alliance Enterprise S.A.S. take?

There is no single delivery time for international payments: some land the same day or the next. Weekends and public holidays in the sending or receiving country add extra days to the journey. Occasionally a bank wants to know about the purpose of a payment.

When a payment takes longer than expected, ask the sending bank about the status and the transaction reference so they can trace it along the chain. Save your transfer receipt – you will need it for any trace request.

A delayed transfer has to be traced from the sending side on the basis of the transfer details. As a recipient, it helps to look at your statements to see a slightly lower amount.

What a transfer from Alliance Enterprise S.A.S. abroad really costs

The price of a payment abroad has several parts, and the transfer fee is only the most visible one. You pay the transfer fee, sometimes charges from correspondent banks in between and, most importantly, the exchange rate markup when the money is converted.

Many banks rarely show their exchange rate markup as a cost. Check the rate you are offered against the mid-market rate; the gap is what conversion costs you.

Money transfer services often use a rate near the mid-market rate with clearer fees. GoldexPay compares these services next to each other so you can see what actually arrives. Choosing a specialist does not require leaving Alliance Enterprise S.A.S. – you pay the provider from your own account.

Head office or branch code at Alliance Enterprise S.A.S.?

Having 2 codes, Alliance Enterprise S.A.S. is one of the banks that register separate codes for branches and departments. The main code is HUBCCOBBXXX.

For most payments to a private or business account, the head office code HUBCCOBBXXX is the right choice. Only use a branch code when the recipient gives you that exact code, for example on an invoice or in their bank details.

If you are not sure, check with the recipient for the exact BIC in their bank details. Branch codes are more likely to change than the head office code when a bank merges or closes offices.

What to give a sender who pays you at Alliance Enterprise S.A.S.

A sender in another country needs a few details about your account. That means: your full name exactly as it appears on the account, your account number or IBAN, the SWIFT/BIC code HUBCCOBBXXX (or HUBCCOBB) and, often, your postal address.

Some sending banks also ask for the address of Alliance Enterprise S.A.S. in Bogota, so keep it at hand. Double-check the details before you send them, because the sender’s bank usually copies them as is.

Money from abroad will not always arrive for the full amount. Correspondent banks can take a fee, and if the money is converted, an exchange rate margin comes on top. Agree with the sender who covers the fees before the money is sent.
