Sending money abroad from Mizuho Bank, LTD. Paris Branch

What you pay for a payment abroad is made up of more than one component. There is the fee for the transfer itself, sometimes charges from correspondent banks along the way and, most importantly, the margin on the exchange rate when the money is converted.

That exchange rate margin tends to be the biggest cost because it is hidden in the rate. An easy check: set the rate you get next to the mid-market rate and work out the difference on your amount.

For a lot of routes, a specialist provider is cheaper than a bank – mostly thanks to the rate. GoldexPay compares these services next to each other, showing what actually arrives. Using a transfer service does not mean leaving Mizuho Bank, LTD. Paris Branch.

Receiving money from abroad at Mizuho Bank, LTD. Paris Branch

A sender in another country needs a few details from you. What they need is: your name, account number or IBAN, MHCBFRPPXXX or MHCBFRPP and, for some countries, your home address.

It helps to add the bank name and Paris as well, since some forms ask for it. Double-check the details before you share them.

Money from abroad will not always arrive for the full amount. Charges on incoming payments vary per bank – the price list of Mizuho Bank, LTD. Paris Branch tells you what applies. Agree with the sender who pays which costs.

Euro (EUR) and conversion costs

The local currency of France is the Euro (EUR). Money sent in a different currency is converted into EUR before it reaches the account. There is rarely a separate charge for the conversion; it is built into the rate.

Where the conversion happens has an effect on the final amount, as rates and margins differ per bank. Check how much EUR the recipient gets via different services.

Exchange rates move all the time, and some providers let you lock in a rate. For regular payments, small differences in the rate add up over a year.

8 or 11 characters: MHCBFRPP versus MHCBFRPPXXX

A BIC is built from a few fixed parts: the first four letters identify the bank, characters five and six give the country and the two after that mark the location. That gives you MHCBFRPP, the short form of the code.

The 11-character version has a three-character extension for a branch or department. When those three characters are XXX, the code points to the head office, so MHCBFRPPXXX and MHCBFRPP are interchangeable.

Type the code in one piece, in upper case and without separators. Look out for the letter O and the digit 0 and the letter I and the digit 1.

The details here are taken from public sources which we refresh regularly. Banks merge, change names and change codes. Counts and locations come from our directory.

When will the money arrive at Mizuho Bank, LTD. Paris Branch?

An international transfer usually takes one to a few business days, depending on the currency, the route and the banks involved. Transfers sent late in the day or on weekends and holidays usually start the next business day. Extra checks on larger or unusual payments may also add a delay, regardless of the details.

When a payment takes longer than expected, contact your bank about the tracking status or the UETR so they can trace it along the chain. Keep your transfer receipt until the recipient confirms; it contains the details a bank needs to start a trace.

The bank that sent the money is able to request a trace. Ask the sender for a copy of the payment confirmation; that often settles the question quickly.

Is MHCBFRPP still correct? How to check

Have the recipient send you the account details directly from their banking app. Compare that code with MHCBFRPP on this page; if they differ, ask before you pay.

A wrong SWIFT code may lead to a delay, a payment being sent back or additional charges along the way. Remember the account number: a mistake there is harder to undo than a wrong BIC.

Most online banking apps validate the format of an IBAN and sometimes look up the BIC automatically – that confirms the format, not the owner. More and more banks compare the name with the account. A small test payment can be worth it for a large first payment, even if it costs an extra fee.

Changed bank details? Be careful

Be wary if someone unexpectedly asks you to send money to a different account abroad. A valid SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account: 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 a sender address that is slightly off. When money was sent to a fraudster, call your bank right away: the sooner they act, the better the chance of a recall.

Scams also target the receiver: someone claims to have sent more than agreed and asks you to refund the extra via a different route. Wait until the money is actually in your account.
