Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA SWIFT/BIC code

Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA SWIFT code: AZCSITMM

The short code AZCSITMM and the 11-character code AZCSITMMXXX refer to one and the same institution: Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA in Milano, Italy. A SWIFT code tells every bank in the chain which institution should receive the money, a bit like a postal address for banks. In daily life you usually come across the code on invoices from abroad, in your banking app and in the bank details of Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA customers.

Below you will find the practical side: receiving money at Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA, paying someone in another country and how to verify a SWIFT code before you hit send. The SWIFT code alone does not identify an individual account holder; for that you need the IBAN or account number is for.

International transfers from Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA: the real cost

When you send money abroad from Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA, the visible fee is rarely all of what you pay. Besides a fixed fee, correspondent or intermediary banks may deduct a fee, and when the money changes currency the bank often uses a rate below the actual market rate.

The markup on the rate is often the biggest item, and it is easy to miss. Compare the rate you are offered with the mid-market rate; the gap is what conversion costs you.

For many currency pairs, a specialist provider is less expensive than a bank – mostly thanks to the rate. Before your next transfer, it is worth comparing what arrives on GoldexPay rather than accepting the bank’s rate by default. You can still keep your account at Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA; only the conversion and sending happen elsewhere.

Where our SWIFT data comes from

We collect SWIFT/BIC codes using publicly available data and check our list regularly. Still, banks merge, rename themselves or change codes and our data may lag behind. The number of codes on this page are based on what is in our directory, not official figures from Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA.

Before any payment that matters, always check the code with Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA or with the recipient. GoldexPay is not affiliated with Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA; we are a comparison site for money transfers. Found outdated information? Tell us through the contact page so we can correct it.

How long does an international transfer to Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA take?

A SWIFT payment usually needs anywhere from one to several business days. Weekends and public holidays in either country add extra days, since banks do not process on those days. Compliance checks on larger or unusual payments can also cause some delay.

When a payment takes longer than expected, ask the sending bank about the status so they can trace it along the chain. Money transfer services often show tracking online so you can see how far the payment is.

The bank that sent the money is able to start an official trace or a recall. As a recipient, you can look at your statements for a slightly lower amount because fees can reduce the amount.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

Fraudsters often send payment requests containing new bank details sent from what looks like a familiar address. A real SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account: scammers use real codes of real banks.

Never rely on a phone number in the same message that announces the new account. Urgency and requests to keep it quiet are warning signs – a real supplier can wait a day. If money was sent to the wrong account, call your bank right away.

Scams also target the receiver: someone claims to have sent too much and wants you to return the extra to a new account. A screenshot of a transfer proves nothing – check your own account.

SEPA payments and the Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA BIC

Within the SEPA zone, euro payments to an account in Italy follow the same rules and in most cases need only the IBAN. The BIC field is usually optional or missing in that case.

A SWIFT code like AZCSITMM still matter for payments in other currencies. Some banks and apps still show a field for the BIC; in that case, enter AZCSITMM or AZCSITMMXXX.

SEPA transfers usually arrive by the next business day, and instant transfers in seconds where both banks support them. As long as no currency is converted, a SEPA transfer is inexpensive; it is the conversion that costs money.

Is AZCSITMM still correct? How to check

The safest source for the BIC is the recipient’s own bank details. When the code you were given differs from AZCSITMM or AZCSITMMXXX, stop and ask – contact the recipient or Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA.

An incorrect BIC may lead to delays, a returned payment or additional charges along the way. A mistake in the account number can be more serious; check it just as carefully.

Many banking apps check the format of IBANs. More and more banks compare the name with the account. Sending a small amount first can be worth it for a large first payment despite the extra fee.

Which of the 3 codes of Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA do you need?

With 3 codes in 1 locations, Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA is one of the banks that register individual codes for branches. The main code remains AZCSITMMXXX.

Unless the recipient tells you otherwise, use AZCSITMMXXX or its short form AZCSITMM. Only use a branch code when the account holder gives you that exact code, for example on a letter or invoice.

When in doubt, check with the recipient for the exact BIC in their bank details. Branch codes are sometimes changed or retired when banks reorganise, so do not rely on old paperwork.

Why Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA has an 8- and an 11-character code

A BIC is made up of a few fixed parts: characters one to four stand for the bank, characters five and six give the country and the two after that indicate the location. In this case, the 8-character core is AZCSITMM.

XXX at the end of AZCSITMMXXX does not stand for a placeholder or a mistake: it indicates the head office of Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA. Some banking apps ask for 11 characters, in which case you can enter XXX after AZCSITMM.

Enter the code as one block, in upper case and without spaces, exactly as shown here. A wrong character may route the money to a different institution, so check it twice.

Getting paid from abroad into a Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA account

If you are waiting for money from abroad, give the sender everything they need in one go. In practice that means: your name as registered with Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA, your account number or IBAN, the BIC AZCSITMMXXX and sometimes your address.

It helps to add Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA and its city too. Check every detail before you share them.

What lands in your account can be less than the amount sent. Intermediary banks may deduct a fee, Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA may charge for incoming payments, and if the money is converted, an exchange rate margin comes on top. Agree with the sender who covers the fees before the money is sent.

Paying into Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA in EUR

The currency in Italy is the Euro (EUR). If you send money in a different currency, the amount has to be converted at some point: by your bank, an intermediary or Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA itself. Every conversion costs something.

Who converts the money matters, because each party uses its own rate. Transferring the amount already in EUR usually prevents an extra conversion by Azimut Capital Management Sgr SPA, provided the rate you get is fair.

Exchange rates change all the time, and some providers let you lock in a rate. On larger amounts, even seemingly small difference in the rate can be worth more than the fee.
