Exane S.A. SWIFT/BIC code

What EXANFRPP means for a payment to Exane S.A.

If an invoice shows EXANFRPP or EXANFRPPXXX, you are looking at the identical identifier for Exane S.A. in France. 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 transfers between countries.

We wrote this page to help anyone who sends money to an account at Exane S.A. without mistakes. The SWIFT code alone does not identify an individual account holder; that is what the IBAN or account number .

Why Exane S.A. has an 8- and an 11-character code

Each SWIFT/BIC code starts with an 8-character core: four letters for the bank, a two-letter country code and a two-character location code. That gives you EXANFRPP for Exane S.A..

XXX at the end of EXANFRPPXXX does not stand for a placeholder or an error: it indicates the head office of Exane S.A.. Some forms insist on 11 characters, and then you simply add XXX after EXANFRPP.

Enter the code as one block, in upper case and without separators, exactly as shown here. A single character can send the money to a different institution, so copy it carefully.

Head office or branch code at Exane S.A.?

Exane S.A. uses 3 separate SWIFT/BIC codes. Only one is the head office code, EXANFRPPXXX; the others belong to branches or departments.

For most incoming transfers, the head office code EXANFRPPXXX works fine. When you receive a specific code, use it as it is instead of replacing it with the head office code.

The best way is to copy the code directly from the recipient’s invoice. Branch codes are more likely to change than EXANFRPPXXX.

When will the money arrive at Exane S.A.?

There is no single answer for every transfer: some arrive the same day or the next. Transfers sent late in the day or just before a weekend or public holiday often go out a business day later. Sometimes a bank wants to know about the purpose of a payment.

If the money is late, ask your bank about the tracking status and the transaction reference; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Money transfer services often show a status online so you can see where the money has got.

If a payment has not arrived within the expected time, the sender should contact the bank that sent it rather than Exane S.A.. Ask the sender for a copy of the payment confirmation including the reference.

Getting paid from abroad into a Exane S.A. account

When you expect money from abroad, send the payer everything they need in one go. Share your name as the bank knows it, your account number or IBAN, SWIFT code EXANFRPPXXX and your address, which some banks require.

Their bank might also ask for the bank address of Exane S.A.; the head office in Paris is usually fine. Check every detail before you send them.

Money from abroad will not always land in full. Charges on incoming payments differ from bank to bank. Agree with the sender who pays which costs before the money is sent.

Euro (EUR) and conversion costs

Most accounts at Exane S.A. are typically held in EUR, the national currency of France. A payment in a foreign currency is converted into EUR. There is rarely a separate charge for the conversion; it is built into the rate.

Who converts the payment makes a difference. Often you pay less if you send EUR straight away through a transfer service with a good rate.

Rates for EUR move all the time. With bigger transfers, a seemingly small difference in the rate can be worth more than the fee.

About this information

The codes here are taken from public sources that we update regularly. Still, banks merge, rename themselves or change codes. Counts and locations come from our directory and are not confirmed by Exane S.A..

Sending money abroad from Exane S.A.

An international bank payment can cost more than the fee suggests. You pay the fee for the transfer itself, possibly fees charged by intermediary banks in between and, most importantly, the exchange rate markup when the money is converted.

That exchange rate margin is often the biggest item because it is hidden in the rate. Compare their rate with the mid-market rate. The difference is your real conversion cost.

For a lot of currency pairs, a transfer service is cheaper than a bank, mainly because of the exchange rate. Next time you send money, take a minute comparing the total cost on GoldexPay instead of going straight to your bank. You can still keep your account at Exane S.A..

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

One of the most common tricks goes like this: an email arrives with a request claiming that a contact has a new bank account and asking you to pay there from now on. A real SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account – scammers simply use real codes.

Do not rely on a phone number in the same message that contains the new account. Be suspicious of urgent requests, unusual wording or a sender address that is slightly off. When a payment was sent to a fraudster, contact your bank immediately.

Scams also work the other way: someone sends more than agreed and asks you to refund the extra. Wait until the money is actually in your account and check with Exane S.A. if anything seems off.

Verifying the SWIFT code of Exane S.A.

The most reliable source for a SWIFT code is the bank details provided by the recipient – an invoice, a statement or a screenshot from online banking. Compare it with EXANFRPP here and ask if anything does not match.

Errors in the BIC tend to be costly more than fatal – usually the money comes back, minus fees and time lost. Remember the account number: an error there can be more difficult to undo than a wrong BIC.

An automatic check by your bank only confirms that the IBAN exists, not that it is the right account. Some banks now check the name against the account – do not ignore a mismatch warning. When you pay someone new, many people start with a small test amount and wait for confirmation.

Paying Exane S.A. in euros within SEPA

France belongs to the SEPA area. For a standard euro transfer from another SEPA country, the IBAN is usually enough; many banks no longer ask for the BIC.

A SWIFT code like EXANFRPP still matter for payments in other currencies and when the money comes from outside SEPA. A few forms still ask for the BIC; in that case, fill in EXANFRPP or EXANFRPPXXX.

SEPA transfers normally land by the next business day. Charges on SEPA payments tend to be low, as long as no currency conversion is involved.
