About this information

We gather SWIFT/BIC codes using publicly available data and update our list from time to time. Even so, banks merge, rename themselves or change codes, so information can be out of date. The figures on this page are based on our own data and not on information from Biverbanca - Cassa di Risparmio di Biella e Vercelli SPA itself.

Treat our data as a starting point, not as the final word – the bank details from the recipient are leading. GoldexPay is independent of Biverbanca - Cassa di Risparmio di Biella e Vercelli SPA; we are a comparison site for money transfers. Found outdated information?

Euro (EUR) and conversion costs

Accounts at Biverbanca - Cassa di Risparmio di Biella e Vercelli SPA are typically held in EUR, the national currency of Italy. A payment in a foreign currency will be exchanged into EUR. Each conversion eats into something.

Which bank converts the money matters. Compare how much EUR the recipient gets via several providers before choosing one.

Exchange rates move all the time. With bigger transfers, even small difference in the rate can be worth more than the fee.

How to check CRBIIT2B before you pay

The most reliable source for a SWIFT code is the recipient’s own bank details. Check that code with CRBIIT2B here.

Mistakes in the SWIFT code are costly more than fatal – usually the money comes back, minus fees and time lost. A mistake in the IBAN or account number can be more serious because it can reach the wrong person, so check that just as carefully.

A format check in your banking app merely confirms that the IBAN is valid, not that it is the right account. Where available, a payee name check before sending adds extra certainty. When you pay someone new, some people send a small test amount before sending the rest.

Paying Biverbanca - Cassa di Risparmio di Biella e Vercelli SPA in euros within SEPA

Since Italy is in SEPA, a euro payment into Biverbanca - Cassa di Risparmio di Biella e Vercelli SPA from another SEPA country normally only needs the IBAN. Most banking apps do not require the BIC in that case or fill it in for you.

The BIC still come into play for payments in other currencies. A few forms also ask for the BIC; in that case, enter CRBIIT2B or CRBIIT2BXXX.

Paying someone abroad from your Biverbanca - Cassa di Risparmio di Biella e Vercelli SPA account

If you transfer money abroad through Biverbanca - Cassa di Risparmio di Biella e Vercelli SPA, the visible fee is only part of what you pay. Besides the transfer fee, banks in between can deduct a fee, and when the money changes currency the bank often uses a rate below the actual market rate.

That exchange rate margin tends to be the largest cost even though it is not listed as a fee. Check their rate with the mid-market rate – the rate you find on financial news sites.

Money transfer services frequently offer rates closer to the mid-market rate. GoldexPay compares transfer providers next to each other so you can see the amount the recipient gets before you commit. Choosing a specialist does not mean closing your account at Biverbanca - Cassa di Risparmio di Biella e Vercelli SPA: you simply pay the service from your account.

Why Biverbanca - Cassa di Risparmio di Biella e Vercelli SPA 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, sometimes followed by a branch code. Combined, these eight characters form CRBIIT2B – the version you usually see online.

Many payment forms accept either length. If yours requires eleven characters, use CRBIIT2BXXX.

In practice the code is written in capitals, without spaces or dashes. Look out for the letter O and the digit 0 or I versus 1, a common source of typos.

Tracking a transfer to or from Biverbanca - Cassa di Risparmio di Biella e Vercelli SPA

An international transfer usually takes one to a few business days, depending on the currency, the route and the banks involved. Payments made late in the day or on a weekend or public holiday usually go out the next business day. Extra checks by one of the banks can also cause a delay, regardless of the details.

When a payment takes longer than expected, ask your bank about the tracking status so they can trace it along the chain. Money transfer services usually show a status in their app so you can see how far the payment is.

If the money does not arrive within the expected time, the sender needs to contact the bank that sent it, not the receiving bank. On the receiving end, you can check your account to see a partial amount, since fees may have been deducted.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

Stay alert if someone unexpectedly wants you to pay into another account abroad. A correct SWIFT code tells you nothing about who owns the account.

Check changed payment details through a separate channel, such as a phone number you already know, never via the email that asked for the change. Pressure or requests to keep it quiet are warning signs. Already paid? Call your bank straight away and ask them to try to recall the payment.

Fraud can also target the receiver. Someone sends more than agreed and asks you to return the difference via a different route. Do not act before the money is actually in your account and check with Biverbanca - Cassa di Risparmio di Biella e Vercelli SPA if anything seems off.

Getting paid from abroad into a Biverbanca - Cassa di Risparmio di Biella e Vercelli SPA account

When you are waiting for a payment from another country, send the payer everything they need in one go. What they need is: the account holder’s name, IBAN or account number, CRBIIT2BXXX and often your home address.

The sender’s bank might also ask for the address of your bank. A typo in the IBAN is more trouble than it looks, so copy the details from your online banking.

Do not be surprised if the incoming amount is below what the sender paid. Fees for incoming transfers vary from bank to bank – the price list of Biverbanca - Cassa di Risparmio di Biella e Vercelli SPA tells you what applies. Agree with the sender who covers the fees.
