Euro transfers to Cereabanca 1897-Credito Cooperativo-Societa' C: is a BIC needed?

Since Italy is part of the SEPA zone, a euro payment to Cereabanca 1897-Credito Cooperativo-Societa' C from another SEPA country normally only needs an IBAN. Most banking apps do not require the BIC in that case or fill it in for you.

Outside the euro and for senders outside SEPA, CECVIT22XXX or CECVIT22 is still part of the payment details. Some banks and apps still ask for the BIC out of habit; in that case, enter CECVIT22 or CECVIT22XXX.

Instant euro transfers are widely available across SEPA – whether Cereabanca 1897-Credito Cooperativo-Societa' C offers them for your account is worth checking. Provided the payment stays in euros, a SEPA transfer is cheap; costs rise once a conversion is involved.

How to check CECVIT22 before you pay

Have the recipient send you the bank details directly from their online banking. Check that code with CECVIT22 here and ask if anything does not match.

Errors in the BIC are costly rather than fatal: often the payment comes back, minus fees. An error in the account number can be more serious, because the money may be credited to someone else; check it just as carefully.

An automatic check by your bank only confirms that the code is valid, not that it is the right account. More and more banks compare the name with the account before you confirm. A small test payment is a sensible step for large sums despite the extra fee.

What a transfer from Cereabanca 1897-Credito Cooperativo-Societa' C abroad really costs

The price of a payment abroad is made up of more than one component. You pay the fee for the transfer itself, possibly fees charged by intermediary banks along the way and, above all, the margin on the exchange rate if the currency changes.

Banks rarely show the margin on the rate separately – you only notice it if you compare. An easy check: put the bank’s rate next to the mid-market rate and look at the difference.

For a lot of routes, a specialist provider is less expensive than a bank – mostly thanks to the rate. On GoldexPay we compare the amount that arrives with different services, which makes the cheapest option easy to spot. You can still use your account at Cereabanca 1897-Credito Cooperativo-Societa' C to fund the transfer; only the conversion and sending happen elsewhere.

A note on our data

The codes on this page are taken from public sources. Still, banks merge, rename themselves or change codes. Counts and locations come from our directory and are not confirmed by Cereabanca 1897-Credito Cooperativo-Societa' C.

We are an independent comparison site for money transfers and not part of Cereabanca 1897-Credito Cooperativo-Societa' C. Found outdated information?

What the XXX in CECVIT22XXX means

The 11-character version has three more characters for a branch or department. When those three characters are XXX, they simply mean the head office.

Leave out spaces, dots when you type CECVIT22; the code is always written in one block. Pasting the code beats typing it by hand, because one wrong letter changes the bank.

Changed bank details? Be careful

One of the most common tricks goes like this: you receive a message saying that a supplier now has a new bank account. That CECVIT22 is a real code does not mean that a request mentioning it is genuine.

Verify changed bank details through a different channel, such as a phone number you already know. Pressure or requests to keep it quiet are red flags – a real supplier can wait a day. Acted too fast? Call your bank without delay and have them try to recall the payment.

People receiving money are targeted too: a classic trick is an overpayment followed by a request to send back the difference to another account. A payment confirmation from the sender is no proof.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Cereabanca 1897-Credito Cooperativo-Societa' C

There is no single delivery time for international payments: some arrive the same day or the next while others need several business days. Transfers sent after the cut-off time or just before a weekend or public holiday usually start the next business day. Sometimes a bank wants to know what the payment is for, which can hold things up.

When a payment takes longer than expected, contact the sending bank about the status or the UETR; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Keep your transfer receipt – you will need it for any trace request.

A missing payment is investigated from the sending side. As a recipient, it helps to check your statements to see a partial amount, since fees may have been deducted.

Getting paid from abroad into a Cereabanca 1897-Credito Cooperativo-Societa' C account

Someone abroad who wants to pay you will ask for several details about your account – incomplete details often cause delays. The basics are: the account holder’s name, IBAN or account number, CECVIT22XXX and in many cases your home address.

Some sending banks also ask for the bank’s address in Cerea. Check each detail before you send them.

An incoming payment does not always arrive in full. Fees for incoming transfers differ per bank – the price list of Cereabanca 1897-Credito Cooperativo-Societa' C tells you what applies. On invoices, you can state who bears the costs to avoid a shortfall.

Paying into Cereabanca 1897-Credito Cooperativo-Societa' C in EUR

Italy uses the Euro, with the currency code EUR. When you pay another currency, the amount has to be converted at some point – by your bank, by Cereabanca 1897-Credito Cooperativo-Societa' C or by a bank in between. You rarely see a separate charge for the conversion – the cost sits in the rate.

Who does the conversion has an effect on the final amount, as rates and margins differ per bank. Check what EUR the recipient gets via several services; the difference between options can be larger than you expect.

The EUR rate fluctuates throughout the day, so the amount you see is usually only valid for a short time. With bigger transfers, even small gap in the rate can be worth more than the fee.
