Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A. SWIFT/BIC code

SWIFT/BIC code of Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A.

BCTOCOBB and BCTOCOBBXXX are two spellings of the same SWIFT/BIC code, and both point to Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A. in Bogota. A BIC has a single purpose: it makes sure that money from abroad ends up at the right bank. You will need it mainly for payments that cross a border and payments in foreign currencies.

This page is meant to help anyone who pays into an account at Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A. without mistakes. A SWIFT code identifies a bank or branch, never a specific account.

How long does an international transfer to Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A. take?

How fast a transfer reaches Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A. is determined by a few things: the currency, how many intermediary banks are involved, cut-off times and differences in time zone. Payments made late in the day or just before weekends and holidays often start the next business day. Sometimes a bank asks about the purpose of a payment before releasing it.

Many banks are connected to SWIFT gpi for faster and traceable payments. Every payment carries a unique transaction reference, the UETR, which your bank can use to see where the money is. Specialist transfer services often show a status online showing where the payment has got.

Only the sending bank can request a trace or a recall. On the receiving end, it helps to check your statements to see a slightly lower amount.

Sending money abroad from Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A.

The price of a payment abroad has several parts. There is the fee for the transfer itself, sometimes fees charged by intermediary banks in between and, above all, the exchange rate markup when the money is converted.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate, not in the fee: many banks convert using an exchange rate that includes a margin. An easy check: put the rate you get against the mid-market rate and work out the difference on your amount.

Specialised transfer providers often offer a rate near the mid-market rate with clearer fees. Next time you send money, it is worth comparing the total cost on GoldexPay instead of going straight to your bank. You can still use your account at Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A., while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

Getting paid from abroad into a Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A. account

If you are waiting for a payment from another country, give the sender a complete set of details. Give them the account holder’s name, the IBAN or account number, SWIFT code BCTOCOBBXXX and your address.

You can include Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A. and its city as well, since some forms ask for it. Check the details before you share them.

The amount you receive is often lower than the amount sent. Charges on incoming payments vary from bank to bank. For business payments, it is common to state who bears the costs, so that nobody is left short.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

One of the most common tricks works like this: you receive a message saying that a supplier now has a new bank account and that the next payment should go there. A real SWIFT code tells you nothing about whether the request is genuine: scammers use real codes of real banks.

Before paying, confirm changed bank details by phone on a number you know, not one from the message. Be suspicious of urgent requests, unusual wording or an email address that differs by one letter. When money was sent to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately: the sooner they act, the better the chance of a recall.

People receiving money are targeted too: one known trick is a buyer who pays too much followed by a request to send back the difference abroad. A screenshot of a transfer proves nothing; only your own account shows what has arrived.

Why Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A. has an 8- and an 11-character code

Each SWIFT/BIC code has an 8-character core: four letters for the bank, a two-letter country code and two characters for the location. That gives you BCTOCOBB.

XXX at the end of BCTOCOBBXXX does not stand for a missing value or an error: it indicates the head office of Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A.. Some forms ask for 11 characters, in which case you can enter XXX after BCTOCOBB.

Leave out spaces, dots when you enter BCTOCOBB. Copying the code beats retyping it.

Head office or branch code at Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A.?

Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A. has 4 different SWIFT/BIC codes across 4 cities. One of them is the head office code, BCTOCOBBXXX; the others identify branches or departments, and sometimes specific services.

Unless the recipient tells you otherwise, go with BCTOCOBBXXX. If you have been given a branch code, stick to it rather than replacing it with the head office code.

If you are not sure, check with the recipient for the exact BIC in their bank details. Branch codes are sometimes changed or retired over time.

Is BCTOCOBB still correct? How to check

The best place to find the correct BIC remains paperwork issued by the bank, such as a statement or the account details in online banking. If the code you have differs from BCTOCOBB or BCTOCOBBXXX, stop and ask – contact the recipient or Itau Corpbanca Colombia S.A..

A wrong SWIFT code may lead to a delay, a payment being sent back or extra fees for investigation. A mistake in the account number is more serious because it can reach the wrong person; check it just as carefully.

Many banking apps validate the structure of IBANs and some suggest the matching BIC, but that does not prove the account belongs to the right person. More and more banks check the payee name against the account before you confirm. Sending a small amount first is a sensible step for a large first payment, even if it costs an extra fee.
