On this page you will find what the code is put together, when you need it and which other details you need for a transfer to or from First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC (Formerly National Bank of Abu Dhabi) Paris. A SWIFT code identifies a bank or branch, not a single account, which is why you always need the account number too.

Tracking a transfer to or from First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC (Formerly National Bank of Abu Dhabi) Paris

How fast a transfer arrives at First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC (Formerly National Bank of Abu Dhabi) Paris depends on several factors: the currency, how many intermediary banks are involved, daily processing deadlines and time zones. Payments made late in the day or just before a weekend or public holiday usually go out a business day later. Extra checks on larger or unusual payments can also add some delay, regardless of the details.

If the money is delayed, ask your bank about the status or the UETR; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Save the payment confirmation until the recipient confirms – you will need it for any trace request.

A delayed transfer has to be investigated by the sending bank on the basis of the transfer details. On the receiving end, you can check your account for a slightly lower amount, since fees may have been deducted.

The Euro and what conversion costs you

The local currency in France is the Euro (EUR). Money sent in a different currency will be exchanged into EUR – and the bank that does it picks the rate. Every conversion eats into something – usually through the rate rather than a fee.

Who converts the payment makes a difference, because each party uses its own rate. Transferring the money directly in EUR usually avoids an extra conversion at the receiving end – as long as your own rate is good.

Rates for EUR move during the day. If you pay regularly, a slightly better rate add up over time.

First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC (Formerly National Bank of Abu Dhabi) Paris: head office code versus branch codes

First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC (Formerly National Bank of Abu Dhabi) Paris uses 3 separate SWIFT/BIC codes. Only one is the head office code, NBADFRPPXXX; the rest identify branches or departments, and sometimes internal departments.

For most incoming transfers, the head office code NBADFRPPXXX is the right choice. Only use a branch code when the account holder gives you that exact code.

Unsure which code applies? Ask the recipient or the bank itself. Codes are sometimes changed or retired when banks reorganise, so do not rely on old paperwork.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Criminals regularly send payment requests with changed bank details, sometimes in an email that looks completely genuine. A valid SWIFT code tells you nothing about whether the request is genuine – scammers simply use real codes.

Always confirm a change of bank details through a phone call, using a number you already had. Watch out for urgent requests, odd spelling or an email address that differs by one letter. If money was sent to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately.

People receiving money are targeted too: one known trick is a buyer who pays too much followed by a request to refund the difference to another account. A screenshot of a transfer is no proof – check your own account.

Verifying the SWIFT code of First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC (Formerly National Bank of Abu Dhabi) Paris

The most reliable place for the right code is a document from the bank itself. Compare it with NBADFRPP here and ask if anything does not match.

With a wrong code, the payment may get stuck, bounce back or end up costing more. Do not forget the account number: an error there can be more difficult to undo than a wrong code.

A validity check in your banking app only tells you that the code exists. Some banks now check the payee name with the account before you confirm; take any warning seriously. Sending a small amount first is worth it for large sums.

What the XXX in NBADFRPPXXX means

A SWIFT code is built from fixed blocks: the first four letters identify the bank, the next two show the country and the two after that mark the location. Combined, these eight characters form NBADFRPP.

Many payment forms accept both lengths. If yours requires eleven characters, use NBADFRPPXXX; if it wants eight, use NBADFRPP.

As a rule the code is typed in capitals. Copying the code beats typing it by hand, because one wrong letter changes the bank.
