Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited SWIFT/BIC code

CFSHIE2D – the SWIFT/BIC code of Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited

Whether you are given CFSHIE2D or CFSHIE2DXXX, it is the identical address for Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited in Ireland. A SWIFT code tells the sending bank exactly which bank should receive the money, much like a postcode for banks. You will need it mainly when dealing with payments that cross a border and payments in foreign currencies.

This page is meant to help people who pays into an account at Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited without mistakes. A SWIFT code identifies a bank or branch, not a single account; the IBAN or account number does that.

Paying into Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited in EUR

The national currency in Ireland is the Euro (EUR). A payment in a foreign currency will be converted into EUR before it reaches the account, and whoever converts it chooses the rate. Every conversion costs something.

Who does the conversion affects how much arrives. Often it is cheaper if you send EUR straight away via a provider that converts near the mid-market rate, so that the receiving bank does not need to convert again.

The EUR rate fluctuates throughout the day, so the amount you see is usually only valid for a short time. If you pay regularly, small differences in the rate add up over time.

Is CFSHIE2D still correct? How to check

Have the recipient send you the bank details directly from a recent statement. Check it with CFSHIE2D here.

With a wrong code, the transfer may be delayed, bounce back or end up costing more – sometimes after weeks of searching. A mistake in the IBAN or account number is more serious because it can reach the wrong person; check it just as carefully.

An automatic check by your bank only confirms that the code is valid – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. Some banks now compare the payee name with the account before you confirm – do not ignore a mismatch warning. For a first payment, many people send a small amount first.

Changed bank details? Be careful

One of the most common tricks works like this: an email arrives with a message claiming that a contact has new bank details. The fact that CFSHIE2D exists is no guarantee that the account is legitimate; criminals use the codes of real banks too.

Do not rely on a phone number in the same message that announces the new account. Pressure or secrecy are red flags. Already paid? Contact the bank you paid from straight away and ask them to start a recall.

Recipients are targeted too: one known trick is an overpayment followed by a request to send back the difference to another account. A payment confirmation from the sender proves nothing – check your own account.

Which of the 8 codes of Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited do you need?

Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited has 8 different SWIFT/BIC codes. One of them is the head office code, CFSHIE2DXXX; the rest belong to branches or departments, and sometimes specific services.

Usually there is no need to pick a branch: transfers sent to CFSHIE2DXXX reach Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited correctly. Only use a branch code when the account holder explicitly asks for it, for example on an invoice or in their bank details.

The best way is to copy the code straight from the account holder’s statement. Branch codes are sometimes changed or retired when banks reorganise.

Receiving money from abroad at Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited

If you expect a payment from another country, send the payer everything they need in one go. Give them the account holder’s name, the IBAN or account number, SWIFT code CFSHIE2DXXX and your address.

Some banks want the name and address of Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited in Dublin. A mistake in your account number is more trouble than you might think.

What lands in your account is often lower than what was sent. Intermediary banks may deduct a fee, Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited may charge for incoming payments, and when currencies differ, a markup on the rate comes on top. On invoices, you can agree who bears the costs.

Paying someone abroad from your Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited account

If you send money abroad via Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited, the fee you see is only part of the cost. Besides the transfer fee, correspondent or intermediary banks may deduct a fee, and when the money changes currency the bank usually uses a rate below the real market rate.

The markup on the rate tends to be the biggest item because it is hidden in the rate. An easy check: set the rate you get next to the mid-market rate and work out the difference on your amount.

Specialised transfer providers often use a rate near the mid-market rate and lower fees. GoldexPay compares what recipients receive across providers. You can still keep your account at Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited; only the conversion and sending happen elsewhere.

Where our SWIFT data comes from

Our SWIFT/BIC directory draws on publicly available sources and we update it periodically. It is possible that information on this page is no longer current, for example after a merger. Figures such as the number of codes come from our own dataset and are not confirmed by Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited.

Paying Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited in euros within SEPA

Inside SEPA, euro payments to Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited use common rules, so the IBAN does the job in most cases. The BIC field is often optional for those payments.

Outside the euro and for senders outside SEPA, CFSHIE2DXXX or CFSHIE2D is still part of the payment details. A few forms still show a field for the BIC out of habit; if so, enter CFSHIE2D or CFSHIE2DXXX.

Instant payments in euros are widely supported across SEPA; check with Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited whether it applies to your account. Charges on SEPA transfers tend to be low.

What the XXX in CFSHIE2DXXX means

The layout of a BIC is always the same: four characters for the institution, a two-letter country code and a two-character location code, plus an optional branch code. The result is CFSHIE2D, the short form of the code.

XXX at the end of CFSHIE2DXXX is not a placeholder or an error: it indicates the head office of Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited. Some forms insist on 11 characters, in which case you can enter XXX behind CFSHIE2D.

In practice the code is typed in capitals, without spaces or dashes. Look out for the letter O and the digit 0 and I versus 1.

When will the money arrive at Citco Fund Services Ireland Limited?

There is no fixed delivery time for international payments: some arrive within a day, others take several business days. Bank holidays in the sending or receiving country can add a day or more, since banks do not process on those days. Sometimes a bank asks what the payment is for, which can hold things up.

Many banks are connected to SWIFT gpi, which lets them follow a payment from bank to bank. Every gpi transfer gets a unique reference, the UETR that banks can use to trace it. Keep your transfer receipt until the recipient confirms; it contains the details a bank needs to start a trace.

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. As a recipient, you can look at your account to see a slightly lower amount.
