FUCEDE77 – the SWIFT/BIC code of Fuerstlich Castell'sche Bank Credit-Casse AG

FUCEDE77 and FUCEDE77XXX are the short and the long form of the same SWIFT/BIC code, and both point to Fuerstlich Castell'sche Bank Credit-Casse AG in Wuerzburg. Every bank on the SWIFT network uses BIC codes to direct payments between countries to the right bank. You will need it mainly when dealing with transfers between countries or a currency.

Further down we go through the practical questions: receiving money at Fuerstlich Castell'sche Bank Credit-Casse AG, paying someone in another country and how to verify the code before you hit send. The BIC names a bank or branch, never a single account; the IBAN or account number does that.

Watch out for payment fraud

Stay alert when a contact suddenly wants you to send money to another account or a bank in another country. A correct SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account – scammers simply use real codes.

Verify changed payment details through a separate channel, such as a phone number you already know. Be suspicious of urgent requests, unusual wording or an email address that differs by one letter. When money has already gone to a fraudster, call your bank right away.

Fraud also work the other way. Someone claims to have sent more than agreed and asks you to return the difference. A payment confirmation from the sender proves nothing – check your own account.

Fuerstlich Castell'sche Bank Credit-Casse AG: head office code versus branch codes

Paying into Fuerstlich Castell'sche Bank Credit-Casse AG in EUR

Germany pays in the Euro. A payment in a foreign currency will be exchanged into EUR, and whoever converts it chooses the rate. There is rarely a separate charge for that conversion.

Who does the conversion affects the final amount. Sending the amount already in EUR often avoids a second conversion by Fuerstlich Castell'sche Bank Credit-Casse AG, provided the rate you get is fair.

The rate for EUR changes constantly, so the amount you see is usually only valid for a short time. If you pay regularly, a slightly better rate make a real difference over time.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Fuerstlich Castell'sche Bank Credit-Casse AG

A SWIFT payment typically takes anywhere from one to several business days, depending on the currency, the route and the banks involved. Bank holidays in either country can add extra days. Compliance checks by one of the banks may also add a delay, regardless of the details.

Many banks are connected to SWIFT gpi. Every payment gets a unique reference, the UETR. Money transfer services usually provide a status online so you can see how far the payment is.

Only the sending bank can request a trace – the recipient’s bank often cannot see a payment that has not arrived. On the receiving end, it helps to check your statements to see a partial amount, since fees may have been deducted.

Where our SWIFT data comes from

We collect bank codes from public sources and check our list regularly. It can happen that information here is out of date. Counts and locations come from our own dataset.

Treat this page as a reference, rather than as the final word: the recipient’s bank details come first. GoldexPay is an independent comparison site and not part of Fuerstlich Castell'sche Bank Credit-Casse AG. If you notice a mistake, we welcome a message via the contact page.

Incoming international payments to Fuerstlich Castell'sche Bank Credit-Casse AG

If you expect a payment from another country, give the sender everything they need in one go. What they need is: the account holder’s name, account number or IBAN, FUCEDE77XXX or FUCEDE77 and, for some countries, your postal address.

Certain sending banks also ask for the address of Fuerstlich Castell'sche Bank Credit-Casse AG in Wuerzburg. A typo in your account number can be harder to fix than it looks.

Do not be surprised if the incoming amount is smaller than what the sender paid. Intermediary banks may deduct a fee, and when currencies differ, an exchange rate margin applies. Make clear with the sender who covers the fees before the money is sent.

Is FUCEDE77 still correct? How to check

The most reliable source for a SWIFT code is the recipient’s own bank details. Check that code with FUCEDE77 here; if they differ, ask before you pay.

With a wrong code, the transfer might be delayed, bounce back or cost extra – sometimes after weeks of searching. Do not forget the account number: a mistake there can be more difficult to correct than a wrong BIC.

An automatic check in your banking app merely tells you that the IBAN is valid, not that it is the right account. More and more banks check the name against the account before you confirm. When you pay someone new, many people send a small test amount and wait for confirmation.

Do you need FUCEDE77 for a SEPA transfer?

Germany is a member of the SEPA area, where euro transfers follow common rules. For a regular euro transfer from another SEPA country, you normally only need the IBAN and the BIC is often filled in automatically.

A SWIFT code like FUCEDE77 does come into play when the currency is not euros, and for transfers from outside SEPA. Some banks and apps still ask for the BIC; if so, fill in FUCEDE77.

SEPA transfers usually arrive within one business day; instant payments are faster if both banks offer them. Charges on SEPA transfers tend to be low.

Sending money abroad from Fuerstlich Castell'sche Bank Credit-Casse AG

An international bank payment costs rather more than the listed fee. You pay the transfer fee, possibly fees charged by intermediary banks along the way and, above all, the exchange rate markup.

Many banks do not list their exchange rate markup separately. A simple test: put the rate you get against the mid-market rate for the same moment and work out the difference on your amount.

For many routes, a specialist provider turns out to be cheaper than a bank. GoldexPay lists transfer providers next to each other, showing the amount the recipient gets. Using a transfer service does not mean closing your account at Fuerstlich Castell'sche Bank Credit-Casse AG.

Why Fuerstlich Castell'sche Bank Credit-Casse AG has an 8- and an 11-character code

The layout of every SWIFT code never changes: a bank code of four letters, two for the country and two for the location, sometimes followed by a branch code. In this case, the 8-character core is FUCEDE77.

Many payment forms work with both lengths. If yours requires eleven characters, enter FUCEDE77XXX, otherwise FUCEDE77 is fine.

Type the code in one piece, in upper case and without separators. Look out for the letter O and the digit 0 or the letter I and the digit 1; they are easy to mix up.
