Banco de Sabadell SWIFT/BIC code

Banco de Sabadell SWIFT code: BSABFRPP

BSABFRPP and BSABFRPPXXX are two ways of writing the same SWIFT/BIC code, and both lead to Banco de Sabadell in Paris. A BIC does one job: it ensures that an international payment reaches the right bank. It comes up mainly when dealing with transfers between countries or a currency.

We wrote this page to help people who sends money to an account at Banco de Sabadell. The SWIFT code alone cannot identify an individual account holder; for that you need the account number or IBAN .

Before you send: check the Banco de Sabadell code

The safest source for the BIC is the bank details provided by the recipient: an invoice, a bank statement or their online banking. If the code you have differs from BSABFRPP or BSABFRPPXXX, do not guess – contact the recipient or Banco de Sabadell.

An incorrect BIC can cause a delay, a returned payment or additional charges for investigation. Remember the IBAN: a mistake there can be harder to correct than a wrong BIC.

A format check in your banking app merely tells you that the IBAN exists – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. Where available, a name check on the recipient gives extra certainty. Sending a small amount first can be a sensible step for a large first payment despite the extra fee.

Paying Banco de Sabadell in euros within SEPA

France belongs to the SEPA area. For a standard euro transfer from another SEPA country, the IBAN is usually enough and the BIC is often filled in automatically.

The BIC does come into play when the currency is not euros and when the money comes from outside SEPA. Some banks and apps also show a field for the BIC; if so, fill in BSABFRPP.

Euro payments within SEPA normally land by the next business day; instant payments are faster if both banks offer them. Charges on SEPA transfers are generally low, as long as no currency conversion is involved.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

One of the most common tricks works like this: you receive a request saying that a supplier has a new bank account and asking you to pay there from now on. The fact that BSABFRPP exists is no guarantee that a request mentioning it is genuine.

Always confirm changed bank details through a phone call, using a number you already had. Be suspicious of time pressure, unusual wording or an email address that differs by one letter. Acted too fast? Call your bank straight away and have them try to recall the payment; also report it to the police.

Recipients can be targeted as well: a classic trick is a buyer who pays too much followed by a request to send back the difference. A screenshot of a transfer proves nothing – check your own account.

Where our SWIFT data comes from

The directory on GoldexPay is compiled from publicly available sources and is updated regularly. It can happen that information here is out of date, for example after a merger. Counts and locations are from our own dataset.

Before a payment of any size, confirm the BIC with Banco de Sabadell or with the recipient. GoldexPay has no connection to Banco de Sabadell; we are a comparison site for money transfers. If you notice something that is out of date, we appreciate a short note.

Incoming international payments to Banco de Sabadell

A sender in another country needs a few details about your account. In practice that means: your name exactly as it appears on the account, your IBAN or account number, the BIC BSABFRPPXXX (or BSABFRPP) and sometimes your address.

Certain banks want the name and address of Banco de Sabadell, so keep it at hand. A mistake in your account number can be more trouble than it looks; copy them from your banking app rather than typing.

The amount you receive is often less than the amount sent. Charges on incoming payments vary per bank – the price list of Banco de Sabadell tells you what applies. Agree with the sender who pays which costs, especially for larger amounts.

Sending EUR to Banco de Sabadell

The currency of France is the Euro (EUR). If you send another currency has to be converted somewhere along the way: by your bank, an intermediary or Banco de Sabadell itself. Each conversion costs the amount, even when no fee is shown.

Who converts the payment makes a difference. Sending the amount already in EUR usually prevents a second conversion, provided the rate you get is fair.

Rates for EUR change during the day. On larger amounts, even seemingly small gap in the rate adds up quickly.

Which of the 2 codes of Banco de Sabadell do you need?

Having 2 codes in 1 cities, Banco de Sabadell is one of the banks that register separate codes for branches and departments. The main code remains BSABFRPPXXX.

Unless the recipient tells you otherwise, go with BSABFRPPXXX. When you receive a specific code, use it as it is instead of swapping it with the head office code.

Not sure which code to use? Ask the recipient. Codes are sometimes changed or retired over time, so a code from an old document is not always valid.

How long does an international transfer to Banco de Sabadell take?

How quickly a payment arrives at Banco de Sabadell is determined by a few things: the currency, how many intermediary banks are involved, cut-off times and time zones. Weekends and public holidays in either country add a day or more. Compliance checks by one of the banks can also add some delay, regardless of the details.

When a payment takes longer than expected, ask your bank for the status; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Keep the payment confirmation until the money has arrived – you will need it for any trace request.

A delayed transfer is investigated from the sending side on the basis of the transfer details. Ask the sender for a copy of the payment confirmation with the date and reference.

Sending money abroad from Banco de Sabadell

A bank transfer abroad can cost rather more than the listed fee. There is the fee for the transfer itself, possibly charges from correspondent banks along the way and, above all, the margin on the exchange rate if the currency changes.

The real cost is often in the rate, rather than in the fee: many banks convert using an exchange rate with a margin built in. An easy check: put the rate you get next to the mid-market rate and look at the difference.

Money transfer services frequently offer rates closer to the mid-market rate and lower fees. GoldexPay compares these services next to each other so you can see the amount the recipient gets. Choosing a specialist does not require leaving Banco de Sabadell – you pay the provider from your own account.

What the XXX in BSABFRPPXXX means

The structure of a BIC is always the same: a bank code of four letters, a two-letter country code and two for the location. That gives you BSABFRPP, the short form of the code.

XXX at the end of BSABFRPPXXX is not a missing value or an error: it indicates the main office of Banco de Sabadell. Certain payment forms ask for 11 characters, and then you can enter XXX after BSABFRPP.

Leave out spaces or dashes when you enter BSABFRPP. A single letter can send the money to another bank.
