We wrote this page to help anyone who sends money to an account at Cassa Rurale Ed Artigiana di Cantu' Banca di Credito Cooperativo - S.c.r.l.. The SWIFT code on its own cannot identify a personal account; for that you need the IBAN or account number .

Getting paid from abroad into a Cassa Rurale Ed Artigiana di Cantu' Banca di Credito Cooperativo - S.c.r.l. account

Someone abroad who wants to pay you will ask for several details from you, and missing ones are a common cause of delays. That means: your name exactly as it appears on the account, your account number or IBAN, the BIC ACARIT22XXX and sometimes your address.

Their bank may request the bank address of Cassa Rurale Ed Artigiana di Cantu' Banca di Credito Cooperativo - S.c.r.l.; the head office in Cantu' is usually fine. Check the details before you send them, because the sender’s bank usually copies them as is.

What lands in your account is often lower than what was sent. Intermediary banks may deduct a fee, Cassa Rurale Ed Artigiana di Cantu' Banca di Credito Cooperativo - S.c.r.l. may charge for incoming payments, and if the currency changes, an exchange rate margin comes on top. Agree with the sender who pays which costs.

Euro transfers to Cassa Rurale Ed Artigiana di Cantu' Banca di Credito Cooperativo - S.c.r.l.: is a BIC needed?

Because Italy is part of the SEPA zone, a euro transfer into Cassa Rurale Ed Artigiana di Cantu' Banca di Credito Cooperativo - S.c.r.l. from within the SEPA area normally only needs an IBAN. Most banking apps do not require the BIC for these payments or fill it in for you.

Outside the euro and for senders outside SEPA, ACARIT22XXX remains required. If your banking app asks for the BIC regardless, adding ACARIT22 is fine.

SEPA transfers usually arrive within one business day. As long as the payment stays in euros, the transfer tends to be inexpensive; it is the conversion that costs money.

How to check ACARIT22 before you pay

The most reliable source for the BIC is the bank details provided by the recipient: an invoice, a bank statement or their online banking. If the code you have differs from ACARIT22 or ACARIT22XXX, stop and ask – contact the recipient or Cassa Rurale Ed Artigiana di Cantu' Banca di Credito Cooperativo - S.c.r.l..

Mistakes in the SWIFT code are costly more than disastrous. Do not forget the IBAN: a mistake there is harder to undo than a wrong code.

A format check in your banking app only tells you that the IBAN exists, not that it is the right account. More and more banks check the payee name against the account; take any warning seriously. For a first payment, many people send a small test amount and wait for confirmation.

ACARIT22 or ACARIT22XXX – which one to use?

The layout of every SWIFT code never changes: four characters for the institution, a two-letter country code and two for the location. For Cassa Rurale Ed Artigiana di Cantu' Banca di Credito Cooperativo - S.c.r.l., that core is ACARIT22.

XXX at the end of ACARIT22XXX is not a placeholder or an error: it indicates the main office of Cassa Rurale Ed Artigiana di Cantu' Banca di Credito Cooperativo - S.c.r.l.. Some forms ask for 11 characters, and then you can add XXX after ACARIT22.

As a rule the code is written in capitals and without spaces. A single character can send a payment to another bank.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Criminals regularly send fake invoices containing changed bank details. A correct SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account: scammers use real codes of real banks.

Always confirm changed bank details through a phone call. Pressure and secrecy are red flags. Acted too fast? Call the bank you paid from straight away and ask them to 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 refund the difference to another account. Do not act before the money is actually in your account.

About this information

Before any payment of any size, check the code with the recipient’s bank or the recipient.

Head office or branch code at Cassa Rurale Ed Artigiana di Cantu' Banca di Credito Cooperativo - S.c.r.l.?

Cassa Rurale Ed Artigiana di Cantu' Banca di Credito Cooperativo - S.c.r.l. has 32 different SWIFT/BIC codes across 23 cities. One of them is the head office code, ACARIT22XXX; the rest belong to branches or departments, and sometimes internal departments.

For the vast majority of payments to a private or business account, the head office code ACARIT22XXX is the right choice. If you have been given a specific code, stick to it instead of swapping it for the head office code.

The best way is to take the code directly from the account holder’s bank details. Codes for branches are more likely to change than the head office code when a bank merges or closes offices.

Euro (EUR) and conversion costs

Italy uses the Euro (EUR). A payment in a foreign currency will be exchanged into EUR before it reaches the account – and the bank that does it picks the rate. There is rarely a separate charge for that conversion.

Which bank converts the payment makes a difference. Transferring the amount already in EUR usually avoids a second conversion at the receiving end – as long as your own rate is good.

Rates for EUR change all the time, and some providers let you lock in a rate. With bigger transfers, even seemingly small gap in the rate adds up quickly.

Sending money abroad from Cassa Rurale Ed Artigiana di Cantu' Banca di Credito Cooperativo - S.c.r.l.

What you pay for an international transfer has several parts – not just the fee on your screen. On top of the transfer fee, correspondent or intermediary banks may deduct a fee, and when currencies are converted, the bank usually applies a rate that is less favourable than the real market rate.

Many banks do not list the margin on the rate as a cost. A simple test: set the rate you get against the mid-market rate and look at the difference.

For a lot of routes, a specialist provider is less expensive than a traditional bank transfer. Before your next transfer, take a minute to compare what arrives on GoldexPay instead of going straight to your bank. You can still use your account at Cassa Rurale Ed Artigiana di Cantu' Banca di Credito Cooperativo - S.c.r.l. as the source of the money, while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Cassa Rurale Ed Artigiana di Cantu' Banca di Credito Cooperativo - S.c.r.l.

There is no single delivery time for international payments: many arrive the same day or the next while others need several business days. Weekends and public holidays in the sending or receiving country add extra days, since banks do not process on those days. Compliance checks by one of the banks may also add a delay, regardless of the details.

Many banks use SWIFT gpi. Each gpi transfer carries a unique transaction reference, the UETR that banks can use to trace it. Save your transfer receipt until the money has arrived.

If a payment has not arrived after a few business days, the sender should start with the bank that sent it. On the receiving end, it helps to check your statements to see a slightly lower amount.
