Jf Asset Management Limited SWIFT/BIC code

Jf Asset Management Limited SWIFT code: JFIMHKHH

Whether you are given JFIMHKHH or JFIMHKHHXXX, it is the same identifier for Jf Asset Management Limited in Hong Kong SAR China. The code has a single purpose: it ensures that a cross-border transfer reaches the right bank. In practice you usually come across the code on invoices from abroad, in payment forms and in the bank details that Jf Asset Management Limited provides.

On this page you will find how the code means, when it matters and which other details a transfer to or from Jf Asset Management Limited requires. Remember that the BIC only identifies the bank, not the account: the account number or IBAN takes care of that.

What a transfer from Jf Asset Management Limited abroad really costs

If you transfer money abroad via Jf Asset Management Limited, the visible fee is rarely all of what you pay. On top of a fixed fee, banks in between can deduct a fee, and when currencies are converted, the bank often uses a rate below the actual market rate.

The markup on the rate tends to be the biggest cost because it is hidden in the rate. Check their rate with the mid-market rate – the rate you find on financial news sites.

For a lot of routes, a specialist provider turns out to be less expensive than a traditional bank transfer, mainly because of the exchange rate. GoldexPay lists these services next to each other, showing the amount the recipient gets. Using a transfer service does not mean leaving Jf Asset Management Limited – you pay the provider from your own account.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Be alert when a contact suddenly asks you to pay into another account or a bank in another country. A real SWIFT code says nothing about whether the request is genuine – scammers simply use real codes.

Never trust contact details in the same message that announces the change. Be suspicious of urgent requests, unusual wording or a sender address that is slightly off. If a payment has already gone to a fraudster, contact your bank immediately: the sooner they act, the better the chance of a recall.

Scams also work the other way: someone sends too much and wants you to refund the difference to a new account. A screenshot of a transfer proves nothing; only your own account shows what has arrived.

When will the money arrive at Jf Asset Management Limited?

A SWIFT payment typically takes one to a few business days – it depends on currency, route and the banks in between. Transfers sent after the cut-off time or just before a weekend or public holiday often start a business day later. Sometimes a bank wants to know what the payment is for before releasing it.

Many banks use SWIFT gpi. Every payment carries a unique reference, the UETR. Keep the payment confirmation until the money has arrived – you will need it for any trace request.

If a payment has not arrived after a few business days, the sender needs to contact the bank that sent it rather than Jf Asset Management Limited. On the receiving end, it helps to check your statements to see a slightly lower amount because fees can reduce the amount.

Getting paid from abroad into a Jf Asset Management Limited account

If you expect a payment from another country, send the payer all details at once. That means: your name exactly as it appears on the account, your IBAN or account number, the BIC JFIMHKHHXXX and, often, your postal address.

It helps to include the bank name and its city as well. A typo in the IBAN can be more trouble than you might think.

What lands in your account is often lower than what was sent. Fees for incoming transfers vary per bank. On invoices, you can state who bears the costs.

Jf Asset Management Limited: head office code versus branch codes

Jf Asset Management Limited uses 6 different SWIFT/BIC codes across 1 cities. One of them is the head office code; the rest identify branches.

In most cases you do not need to pick a branch: payments sent to JFIMHKHHXXX are routed within Jf Asset Management Limited correctly. Just use a branch code when the account holder explicitly asks for it, for example on an invoice or in their bank details.

Not sure which code to use? Ask the recipient or the bank itself. Codes are sometimes changed or retired when banks reorganise, so a code from an old document is not always valid.

How to check JFIMHKHH before you pay

The most reliable source for the BIC is the recipient’s own bank details: an invoice, a bank statement or their online banking. Check it against JFIMHKHH here.

Mistakes in the SWIFT code tend to be costly more than disastrous – usually the money comes back, minus fees and time lost. A mistake in the IBAN or account number is a bigger problem, because the money may be credited to someone else, so check that just as carefully.

Most online banking apps validate the structure of an IBAN, but that does not prove the account belongs to the right person. Some banks now compare the name against the account – do not ignore a mismatch warning. Sending a small amount first can be worth it for a large first payment.

About this information

This directory is compiled from publicly available sources. Institutions reorganise, change names and retire codes – a directory can be a step behind. The figures on this page reflect what is in our directory and not on information from Jf Asset Management Limited itself.

Use our data as a starting point, not as the final word – the bank details from the recipient are leading. We are an independent comparison service and not affiliated with Jf Asset Management Limited. Should you notice something that is out of date, we welcome a message via the contact page.

Paying into Jf Asset Management Limited in HKD

Most accounts at Jf Asset Management Limited are typically held in HKD, the local currency. A payment in a foreign currency is converted into HKD on its way to Jf Asset Management Limited – and the bank that does it picks the rate. You rarely see a separate line for the conversion.

Which bank converts the money makes a difference: every bank has its own margin. In many cases you pay less to send HKD directly via a provider with a good rate rather than letting the receiving bank convert.

The HKD rate changes constantly. If you pay regularly, a slightly better rate add up over time.

Why Jf Asset Management Limited has an 8- and an 11-character code

A BIC is made up of a few fixed parts: the first four letters stand for the bank, characters five and six give the country and the two after that mark the location. The result is JFIMHKHH, the short form of the code.

Many payment forms accept either length. If a form asks for eleven characters, use JFIMHKHHXXX, otherwise JFIMHKHH is fine.

As a rule the code is typed in capitals, without spaces or dashes. A single character can send the money to a different institution.
