Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited SWIFT/BIC code

Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited SWIFT code: AGITIE21

Whether a recipient gives you AGITIE21 or AGITIE21XXX, you are looking at the same address for Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited in Ireland. Banks worldwide use BIC codes to route international transfers to the right bank. It comes up mainly for transfers between countries.

Further down we go through the practical side: receiving money at Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited, sending money abroad and how to verify the code before you hit send. Remember that the SWIFT code just identifies the bank, not the person: the IBAN or account number does that part.

Before you send: check the Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited code

The best place to find the correct BIC is paperwork issued by the bank like a bank statement or the account page in online banking. Compare that code against AGITIE21 on this page and ask if anything does not match.

A wrong SWIFT code can cause delays, a payment being sent back or additional charges along the way. An error in the IBAN or account number is a bigger problem because it can reach the wrong person.

Most online banking apps validate the format of an IBAN and sometimes look up the BIC automatically. More and more banks compare the payee name with the account before you confirm. A small test payment can be a sensible step for large sums despite the extra fee.

8 or 11 characters: AGITIE21 versus AGITIE21XXX

The layout of a BIC never changes: four characters for the institution, two for the country and a two-character location code. That gives you AGITIE21, the short form of the code.

The long version has three more characters that identify a branch or department. If the last three are XXX, the code points to the head office, which is why AGITIE21XXX and AGITIE21 lead to the same place.

Type the code in one piece, in upper case and without separators, exactly as shown here. Copying the code beats retyping it: a typo can point to another bank.

What to give a sender who pays you at Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited

Someone abroad who wants to pay you needs a few details from you. That means: your full name as registered with Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited, your IBAN or account number, the BIC AGITIE21XXX (or AGITIE21) and usually your address.

Some banks also ask for the bank’s address; it does no harm to include it. Check the details before you share them – a sender rarely spots a mistake in someone else’s details.

The amount you receive can be lower than the amount sent. Charges on incoming payments differ per bank – the price list of Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited tells you what applies. On invoices, you can state who bears the costs, so that nobody is left short.

Sending EUR to Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited

Ireland uses the Euro (EUR). When you pay money in a different currency gets converted at some point: by your bank, an intermediary or Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited itself. You rarely see a separate charge for that conversion; it is built into the rate.

Who does the conversion has an effect on how much arrives, since every bank sets its own rate. Compare what EUR the recipient gets with several providers; the difference between options can be larger than you expect.

Rates for EUR change all the time – some services let you fix a rate in advance. For regular payments, small differences in the rate add up over a year.

Euro transfers to Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited: is a BIC needed?

Ireland belongs to the SEPA area, where euro transfers follow common rules. For a regular euro transfer within SEPA, the IBAN is usually enough.

For anything other than euros and for senders outside SEPA, AGITIE21XXX or AGITIE21 is still part of the payment details. Some banks and apps still ask for the BIC; in that case, enter AGITIE21 or AGITIE21XXX.

Instant euro transfers are widely supported within SEPA. Fees for SEPA transfers tend to be low as long as everything stays in euros.

Paying someone abroad from your Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited account

The price of an international transfer has more than one component. On top of a fixed fee, correspondent or intermediary banks can take a cut, and if currencies are converted, the bank usually applies a rate below the real market rate.

Banks rarely list the margin on the rate separately, but you pay it all the same. Compare their rate against the mid-market rate, the midpoint between buy and sell rates you see on financial sites; the gap is what conversion costs you.

For many routes, a specialist provider is less expensive than a traditional bank transfer – mostly thanks to the rate. Before your next transfer, it is worth to compare the total cost on GoldexPay rather than accepting the bank’s rate by default. You can still use your account at Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited to fund the transfer.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

A common scam goes like this: an email arrives with a message saying that a company has new bank details. A correct SWIFT code says nothing about whether the request is genuine – scammers simply use real codes.

Never trust contact details from the same email that contains the new account. Be suspicious of urgent requests, odd spelling or an email address that differs by one letter. When a payment has already gone to a fraudster, call your bank right away – speed improves the chance of getting it back.

Recipients can be targeted as well: one known trick is a buyer who pays too much followed by a request to refund the difference. A screenshot of a transfer is no proof – check your own account.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited

How quickly a payment arrives at Aig Asset Management (Ireland) Limited is determined by a few things: the currency, the number of banks in between, cut-off times and differences in time zone. Transfers sent late in the day or just before a weekend or public holiday often start the next business day. Sometimes a bank asks what the payment is for, which can hold things up.

When a payment takes longer than expected, ask the sending bank for the status and the transaction reference; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Money transfer services often provide a status online so you can see where the money has got.

A delayed transfer has to be 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.
