Why Investec Capital and Investments (Ireland)LTD Trading AS Investec has an 8- and an 11-character code

The structure of a BIC never changes: four characters for the institution, a two-letter country code and two for the location. The result is NCBBIE21.

Many payment forms accept either length. If yours asks for eleven characters, use NCBBIE21XXX; if it wants eight, use NCBBIE21.

As a rule the code is typed in capitals. Watch for O versus 0 or the letter I and the digit 1; they are easy to mix up.

Is NCBBIE21 still correct? How to check

Have the recipient copy their account details straight from their online banking. Compare that code with NCBBIE21 here; if they differ, ask before you pay.

If the code is wrong, the transfer may get stuck, bounce back or cost extra – sometimes after weeks of searching. Remember the account number: a mistake there can be harder to undo than a wrong BIC.

Paying Investec Capital and Investments (Ireland)LTD Trading AS Investec in euros within SEPA

Euro (EUR) and conversion costs

Ireland uses the Euro, with the currency code EUR. If you send another currency, the amount gets converted somewhere along the way – by your bank, by Investec Capital and Investments (Ireland)LTD Trading AS Investec or by a bank in between. Every conversion costs the amount.

Who does the conversion affects the final amount, as rates and margins differ per bank. Check how much EUR the recipient gets with different services; the difference between options can be larger than you expect.

Exchange rates change all the time. For regular payments, small differences in the rate make a real difference over time.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

One of the most common tricks goes like this: you receive a request claiming that a supplier now has a new bank account and that the next payment should go there. A correct SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account.

Verify changed bank details through a different channel, such as a phone number you already know. Pressure and requests to keep it quiet are red flags – a real supplier can wait a day. Acted too fast? Contact your bank straight away and have them try to recall the payment and report the fraud.

People receiving money can be targeted as well: a classic trick is an overpayment and then sends a request to send back the difference to another account. Do not act before the money has really arrived.

Sending money abroad from Investec Capital and Investments (Ireland)LTD Trading AS Investec

The price of a payment abroad has more than one component. You pay the fee for the transfer itself, sometimes fees charged by intermediary banks along the way and, most importantly, the margin on the exchange rate if the currency changes.

Many banks do not list the margin on the rate separately, but you pay it all the same. Compare their rate with the mid-market rate.

Specialised transfer providers often offer a rate near the mid-market rate with clearer fees. Before your next transfer, it is worth to compare the total cost on GoldexPay. Choosing a specialist does not mean leaving Investec Capital and Investments (Ireland)LTD Trading AS Investec.
