Investment Technology Group LTD. SWIFT/BIC code

SWIFT/BIC code of Investment Technology Group LTD.

The short code ITGLIE21 and the 11-character code ITGLIE21XXX identify the same bank: Investment Technology Group LTD.. The code does one job: it ensures that an international payment ends up at the right bank. It comes up mostly when dealing with transfers between countries.

On this page you can read what the code means, when it matters and what else a transfer to or from Investment Technology Group LTD. requires. Remember that the BIC only identifies the bank, not the person: the account number or IBAN takes care of that.

Receiving money from abroad at Investment Technology Group LTD.

A sender in another country will ask for a few details about your account, and missing ones are a common cause of delays. That means: your name as registered with Investment Technology Group LTD., your IBAN or account number, the SWIFT/BIC code ITGLIE21XXX and, often, your postal address.

Their bank might request the bank address of Investment Technology Group LTD.. A mistake in your account number is harder to fix than it looks.

Money from abroad will not always arrive for the full amount. Intermediary banks may deduct a fee, and if the currency changes, a markup on the rate comes on top. Make clear with the sender who covers the fees before the money is sent.

The Euro and what conversion costs you

The local currency of Ireland is the Euro (EUR). When you pay money in a different currency has to be converted somewhere along the way. Each conversion eats into the amount, even when no fee is shown.

Who does the conversion affects how much arrives, as rates and margins differ per bank. Sending the money directly in EUR usually prevents a second conversion – as long as your own rate is good.

Exchange rates move during the day – some services let you fix a rate in advance. If you pay regularly, small differences in the rate make a real difference over a year.

Investment Technology Group LTD.: head office code versus branch codes

Our database contains 6 SWIFT/BIC codes for Investment Technology Group LTD. in 1 places. Next to the head office code ITGLIE21XXX, there are codes for branches, departments or specific services.

Unless the recipient tells you otherwise, use ITGLIE21XXX. Branch codes are only needed if the recipient’s bank specifically mentions it, which is more common for corporate accounts and specialised services.

When in doubt, ask the person you are paying for the exact BIC in their bank details. Codes can change over time.

When will the money arrive at Investment Technology Group LTD.?

How quickly a transfer arrives at Investment Technology Group LTD. depends on several factors: the currency, how many intermediary banks are involved, cut-off times and time zones. Weekends and public holidays in the sending or receiving country add extra days, since banks do not process on those days. Extra checks on larger or unusual payments may also cause some delay, even when all details are correct.

Many banks use SWIFT gpi for faster and traceable payments. Every payment carries a unique transaction reference, the UETR that banks can use to trace it. Keep the payment confirmation; it contains the details a bank needs to start a trace.

A delayed transfer is traced by the sending bank on the basis of the transfer details. Request from the sender the payment receipt.

8 or 11 characters: ITGLIE21 versus ITGLIE21XXX

Every SWIFT/BIC code starts with the same eight core characters: a four-letter bank code, two letters for the country and two characters for the location. Together, these eight characters form ITGLIE21.

Most payment forms work with both lengths. If a form asks for eleven characters, use ITGLIE21XXX, otherwise ITGLIE21 is fine.

Type the code in one piece, in capitals and without separators. Watch for O versus 0 and I versus 1; they are easy to mix up.

Watch out for payment fraud

Stay wary when a contact suddenly wants you to send money to another account or a bank in another country. The fact that ITGLIE21 exists is no guarantee that a request mentioning it is genuine; criminals use the codes of real banks too.

Verify new bank details through a different channel. Watch out for time pressure, unusual wording or a sender address that is slightly off. If a payment was sent to a fraudster, call your bank right away: the sooner they act, the better the chance of a recall.

Fraud also work the other way. Someone claims to have sent too much and wants you to return the extra. A screenshot of a transfer proves nothing; only your own account shows what has arrived.

A note on our data

We gather SWIFT/BIC codes using publicly available data and update our list from time to time. Even so, banks merge, rename themselves or retire codes and our data may lag behind. Figures such as the number of codes are from our directory and may differ from what Investment Technology Group LTD. publishes.

Treat our data as a starting point, not as the final word – the bank details from the recipient are leading. We are an independent comparison site and not part of Investment Technology Group LTD.. If you notice something that is out of date, we appreciate a short note via the contact page.

Is ITGLIE21 still correct? How to check

Ask the recipient to send you their bank details straight from their banking app. When the code you were given does not match ITGLIE21 or ITGLIE21XXX, do not guess.

With a wrong code, the payment might be delayed, be returned or end up costing more – sometimes after weeks of searching. A mistake in the account number can be more serious; check it just as carefully.

Most online banking apps validate the format of IBANs and some suggest the matching BIC, but that does not prove the account belongs to the right person. Where available, a payee name check before sending gives an extra layer of safety. When you pay someone new, many people start with a small amount first.

Do you need ITGLIE21 for a SEPA transfer?

Inside SEPA, euro transfers to Investment Technology Group LTD. use common rules. A field for the BIC is usually optional or missing in that case.

You will still need ITGLIE21XXX for payments in other currencies or transfers from countries outside SEPA. If your banking app has a field for the BIC regardless, entering ITGLIE21 does no harm.

Instant euro transfers have become widely supported across SEPA. Charges on SEPA transfers are generally low, as long as no currency conversion is involved.

International transfers from Investment Technology Group LTD.: the real cost

An international bank payment costs more than the fee suggests. There is the transfer fee, possibly charges from correspondent banks in between and, most importantly, the margin on the exchange rate when the money is converted.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate: many banks convert at a rate with a margin built in. A simple test: put the bank’s rate next to the mid-market rate for the same moment and work out the difference on your amount.

Money transfer services often use rates closer to the mid-market rate and lower fees. GoldexPay compares what recipients receive across providers. You can always keep your account at Investment Technology Group LTD. as the source of the money; only the conversion and sending happen elsewhere.
