The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD SWIFT/BIC code

BCMLINBB – the SWIFT/BIC code of The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD

The 8-character code BCMLINBB and the full code BCMLINBBXXX identify the same bank: The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD. The code has a single purpose: it ensures that a cross-border transfer ends up at the right bank. It comes up mostly for payments that cross a border and payments in foreign currencies.

On this page we explain what the code means, when you need it and which other details a transfer to or from The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD requires. The BIC names a bank or branch, not a single account.

How up to date is this code?

Our SWIFT/BIC directory is compiled from public sources and we update it periodically. It is possible that a code on this page is no longer current. Counts and locations come from our directory.

Treat this page as a starting point, rather than as the final word: the recipient’s bank details come first. GoldexPay is a comparison site for money transfers and not part of The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD. Spotted outdated information? Tell us through the contact page.

Tracking a transfer to or from The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD

How fast a transfer arrives at The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD is determined by several factors: which currency you send, how many intermediary banks are involved, daily processing deadlines and differences in time zone. Payments made late in the day or on a weekend or public holiday often start the next business day. Extra checks by one of the banks can also add a delay, even when all details are correct.

Many banks are connected to SWIFT gpi for faster and traceable payments. Every payment carries a unique transaction reference, the UETR. Specialist transfer services usually show tracking online so you can see where the money is.

A missing payment is investigated from the sending side on the basis of the transfer details. Ask the sender for the payment receipt with the date and reference; that often settles the question quickly.

Is BCMLINBB still correct? How to check

Have the recipient copy the bank details directly from their banking app. If the code you have does not match BCMLINBB or BCMLINBBXXX, do not guess – contact the recipient or The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD.

A wrong SWIFT code may lead to a delay, a returned payment or extra fees. A mistake in the IBAN or account number can be a bigger problem.

A validity check by your bank only tells you that the code is valid – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. Some banks now compare the payee name against the account; take any warning seriously. Sending a small amount first can be worth it for a large first payment despite the extra fee.

The Indian Rupee and what conversion costs you

Most accounts at The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD are usually held in INR, the national currency. If you send money in a different currency it gets converted at some point: by your bank, an intermediary or The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD itself. You rarely see a separate charge for the conversion.

Which bank converts the payment matters, because each party uses its own rate. Check how much INR arrives with several services.

Rates for INR move during the day, and some providers let you lock in a rate. With bigger transfers, a seemingly small difference in the rate adds up quickly.

8 or 11 characters: BCMLINBB versus BCMLINBBXXX

A BIC is built from fixed blocks: the first four letters identify the bank, characters five and six give the country and characters seven and eight mark the location. In this case, the 8-character core is BCMLINBB.

Many banks and apps accept either length. If a form requires eleven characters, use BCMLINBBXXX.

In practice the code is written in capitals and without spaces. A wrong letter can send a payment to a different institution, so copy it carefully.

Changed bank details? Be careful

One of the most common tricks works like this: you receive a message saying that a contact has a new bank account and asking you to pay there from now on. A real SWIFT code tells you nothing about whether the request is genuine: scammers use real codes of real banks.

Never rely on contact details from the same email that announces the new account. Watch out for urgent requests, unusual wording or a sender address that is slightly off. When a payment has already gone to a fraudster, call your bank right away – speed improves the chance of getting it back.

Scams also work the other way: someone claims to have sent more than agreed and asks you to refund the difference via a different route. A screenshot of a transfer proves nothing – check your own account.

Sending money abroad from The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD

When you transfer money abroad from The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD, the fee you see is rarely all of the cost. Besides a fixed fee, correspondent or intermediary banks can take a cut, and if the money changes currency the bank usually uses a rate below the actual market rate.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate, not in the fee: the bank converts at a rate that includes a margin. A simple test: set the rate you get next to the mid-market rate and look at the difference.

For many currency pairs, a specialist provider turns out to be cheaper than a bank. Before your next transfer, take a minute comparing the total cost on GoldexPay rather than accepting the bank’s rate by default. You can always use your account at The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD to fund the transfer; only the conversion and sending happen elsewhere.

The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD: head office code versus branch codes

The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD has 4 different SWIFT/BIC codes. Only one is the head office code, BCMLINBBXXX; the others identify branches or departments, and sometimes internal departments.

In most cases you do not need to pick a branch: transfers addressed to BCMLINBBXXX reach The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD correctly. Just use a branch code when your contact gives you that exact code, for example on an invoice or in their bank details.

If you are not sure, check with the recipient for the exact BIC in their bank details. Codes for branches are more likely to change than the head office code.

Getting paid from abroad into a The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD account

For an international payment into your account at The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD, the sender has to have more than the SWIFT code. In practice that means: your full name exactly as it appears on the account, your account number or IBAN, the SWIFT/BIC code BCMLINBBXXX and usually your address.

Certain sending banks also ask for the address of The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD; it does no harm to include it. A typo in your account number is more trouble than you might think; copy them from your banking app rather than typing.

The amount you receive can be lower than what was sent. Charges on incoming payments differ per bank – the price list of The Bharat Co-Operative Bank (Mumbai) LTD tells you what applies. Make clear with the sender who covers the fees before the money is sent.
