We wrote this page to help anyone who receives money at an account at Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes without mistakes. The SWIFT code on its own does not identify a personal account; for that you need the account number or IBAN is for.
Paying into Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes in EUR
Accounts at Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes are usually held in EUR, the local currency. A payment in a foreign currency is exchanged into EUR on its way to Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes. There is rarely a separate charge for the conversion; it is built into the rate.
Who converts the money makes a difference: every bank has its own margin. Sending the amount already in EUR usually prevents a second conversion at the receiving end.
Exchange rates move all the time – some services let you fix a rate in advance. On larger amounts, even seemingly small gap in the rate can be worth more than the fee.
What to give a sender who pays you at Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes
If you expect a payment from another country, send the payer all details at once. What they need is: your name, account number or IBAN, RZSBIT21147 or RZSBIT21 and often your home address.
Their bank might also ask for the address of your bank, in which case the Castelbello Ciardes head office is the usual answer. Double-check every detail before you send them – a sender rarely spots a mistake in someone else’s details.
An incoming payment will not always land for the full amount. Correspondent banks can take a fee, Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes may charge for incoming payments, and if the currency changes, a markup on the rate comes on top. Make clear with the sender who pays which costs before the money is sent.
Watch out for payment fraud
Scammers regularly send fake invoices containing new bank details, sometimes in an email that looks completely genuine. A real SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account.
Never trust contact details in the same message that contains the new account. Be suspicious of urgent requests, unusual wording or an email address that differs by one letter. Acted too fast? Contact your bank straight away and have them start a recall; also report it to the police.
Scams can also target the receiver: someone claims to have sent more than agreed and asks you to refund the extra via a different route. A payment confirmation from the sender proves nothing.
How up to date is this code?
We collect SWIFT/BIC codes using public sources and check them regularly. Banks reorganise, change names and change codes. Counts and locations are from our own dataset and are not confirmed by Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes.
Treat the information on this page as a handy check, and let the details from the recipient or Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes have the final say.

RZSBIT21 or RZSBIT21147 – which one to use?
The layout of every SWIFT code is always the same: a bank code of four letters, a two-letter country code and a two-character location code, sometimes followed by a branch code. The result is RZSBIT21.
XXX at the end of RZSBIT21147 does not stand for a placeholder or a mistake: it indicates the main office of Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes. Some banking apps ask for 11 characters, in which case you can add XXX behind RZSBIT21.
Leave out spaces when you type RZSBIT21. A wrong letter may route the money to another bank.
How to check RZSBIT21 before you pay
Ask the recipient to send you their bank details directly from their online banking. If the code you have does not match RZSBIT21 or RZSBIT21147, stop and ask – contact the recipient or Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes.
Mistakes in the SWIFT code are annoying more than fatal – usually the money comes back, minus fees and time lost. An error in the IBAN or account number is more serious, because the money may be credited to someone else; check it just as carefully.
Most online banking apps validate the format of IBANs and sometimes look up the BIC automatically. More and more banks check the payee name against the account. When you pay someone new, some people send a small amount first and wait for confirmation.
Euro transfers to Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes: is a BIC needed?
Within the SEPA zone, euro payments to Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes follow the same rules and in most cases need only the IBAN. A field for the BIC is often optional for those payments.
You still need RZSBIT21147 for non-euro payments or transfers from countries outside SEPA. Some forms also show a field for the BIC; if so, enter RZSBIT21.
SEPA transfers normally land within one business day. As long as the payment stays in euros, the transfer tends to be cheap; costs rise once a conversion is involved.
Choosing between the 2 SWIFT codes of Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes
Having 2 codes, Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes is one of the banks that use individual codes for branches and departments. The main code is RZSBIT21147.
Usually there is no need to look up a branch: transfers sent to RZSBIT21147 are routed within Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes without problems. If you have been given a branch code, use it as it is rather than swapping it for the head office code.
The safest approach is to take the code straight from the account holder’s bank details. Branch codes are sometimes changed or retired over time, so a code from an old document is not always valid.
When will the money arrive at Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes?
An international transfer typically takes anywhere from one to several 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 often start a business day later. Occasionally a bank wants to know what the payment is for, which can hold things up.
Many banks are connected to SWIFT gpi, which lets them follow a payment from bank to bank. Every gpi transfer gets a unique transaction reference, the UETR, which your bank can use to see where the money is. Keep your transfer receipt until the money has arrived – you will need it for any trace request.
The bank that sent the money is able to request a trace or a recall – the recipient’s bank often cannot see a payment that has not arrived. As a recipient, it helps to look at your account for a partial amount, since fees may have been deducted.
Paying someone abroad from your Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes account
An international bank payment can cost more than the fee suggests. Besides a fixed fee, banks in between can take a cut, and if the money changes currency the bank usually uses a rate that is less favourable than the actual market rate.
The real cost is often in the rate, not in the fee: the bank converts at a rate with a margin built in. Check their rate against the mid-market rate – the rate you find on financial news sites. The difference is your real conversion cost.
Specialist money transfer services often use rates closer to the mid-market rate. Next time you send money, it is worth comparing the total cost on GoldexPay rather than accepting the bank’s rate by default. Choosing a specialist does not require leaving Raiffeisenkasse Tschars Cassa Raiffeisen di Ciardes – you pay the provider from your own account.
