Tracking a transfer to or from Pictet and Cie (Europe) S.A. Succursale de Paris

A SWIFT payment typically needs anywhere from one to several business days, depending on the currency, the route and the banks involved. Weekends and public holidays in the sending or receiving country can add extra days to the journey. Sometimes a bank wants to know what the payment is for before releasing it.

Many banks are connected to SWIFT gpi, which lets them follow a payment from bank to bank. Each payment carries a unique reference, the UETR that banks can use to trace it. Money transfer services usually provide a status in their app so you can see where the payment is.

If a payment has not arrived after a few business days, the sender needs to start with the bank that sent it, not the receiving bank. Request from the sender the payment receipt including the reference – it helps your own bank look for the money.

8 or 11 characters: PICTFRPP versus PICTFRPPXXX

The structure of a BIC is always the same: four characters for the institution, a two-letter country code and a two-character location code, sometimes followed by a branch code. In this case, that core is PICTFRPP.

XXX at the end of PICTFRPPXXX does not stand for a placeholder or a mistake: it indicates the main office of Pictet and Cie (Europe) S.A. Succursale de Paris. Certain payment forms ask for 11 characters, and then you simply enter XXX after PICTFRPP.

Enter the code in one piece, in upper case and without spaces, exactly as shown here. Watch for the letter O and the digit 0 or the letter I and the digit 1; they are easy to mix up.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

A common scam goes like this: you receive a message claiming that a company now has new bank details and that the next payment should go there. That PICTFRPP is a real code does not mean that a request mentioning it is legitimate – fraudsters use real bank codes as well.

Do not trust a phone number in the same message that announces the new account. Watch out for urgent requests, odd spelling or a sender address that is slightly off. If a payment was sent to a fraudster, contact your bank immediately.

Recipients can be targeted as well: a classic trick is a buyer who pays too much and then sends a request to refund the difference abroad. Wait until the money is actually in your account.
