Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD. SWIFT/BIC code

BKKBJPJT – the SWIFT/BIC code of Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD.

Whether a recipient gives you BKKBJPJT or BKKBJPJTXXX, it is the same identifier for Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD. in Japan. Every bank on the SWIFT network uses BIC codes to route international transfers to the right bank. It comes up mostly when dealing with payments that cross a border or a currency.

This page is meant to help people who receives money at an account at Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD.. Remember that the SWIFT code only identifies the bank, not the account: the account number or IBAN does that part.

Tracking a transfer to or from Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD.

There is no single delivery time for international payments: some land within a day while others need several business days. Bank holidays in the sending or receiving country add extra days. Occasionally a bank asks what the payment is for, which can hold things up.

If a transfer seems late, contact your bank for the tracking status or the UETR so they can trace it along the chain. Money transfer services usually provide a status online showing where the payment is.

If the money does not arrive within the expected time, the person who paid should contact the bank that sent it. Request from the sender a copy of the payment confirmation including the reference – it helps your own bank look for the money.

8 or 11 characters: BKKBJPJT versus BKKBJPJTXXX

A SWIFT code is built from a few fixed parts: characters one to four identify the bank, characters five and six show the country and characters seven and eight mark the location. Together, these eight characters make up BKKBJPJT.

The 11-character version has a three-character extension that identify a branch or department. When those three characters are XXX, the code points to the head office.

Do not add spaces, dots when you type BKKBJPJT or BKKBJPJTXXX. Look out for the letter O and the digit 0 or I versus 1, a common source of typos.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Fraudsters often send fake invoices with new bank details, sometimes in an email that looks completely genuine. The fact that BKKBJPJT exists does not mean that a request mentioning it is legitimate – fraudsters use real bank codes as well.

Never rely on a phone number in the same message that announces the change. Watch out for urgent requests, unusual wording or a sender address that is slightly off. Already paid? Call your bank without delay and have them start a recall.

People receiving money are targeted too: one known trick is an overpayment and then sends a request to send back the difference abroad. Wait until the money is actually in your account and check with Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD. if anything seems off.

Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD.: head office code versus branch codes

Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD. uses 2 separate SWIFT/BIC codes across 2 locations. Only one is the head office code, BKKBJPJTXXX; the rest belong to branches or departments.

For most payments to a private or business account, the head office code BKKBJPJTXXX is what you need. If you have been given a specific code, use it as it is instead of replacing it for the head office code.

When in doubt, ask the person you are paying which code their bank gave them. Codes for branches are more prone to change than the head office code.

Japanese Yen (JPY) and conversion costs

Japan uses the Japanese Yen, with the currency code JPY. Money sent in a different currency is converted into JPY, and whoever converts it chooses the rate. Each conversion costs the amount – usually through the rate rather than a fee.

Who does the conversion has an effect on how much arrives. Sending the amount directly in JPY usually avoids an extra conversion by Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD., provided the rate you get is fair.

The rate for JPY changes constantly, so the amount you see is usually only valid for a short time. If you pay regularly, a slightly better rate add up over time.

Receiving money from abroad at Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD.

For a transfer from abroad at Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD., the sender needs not just the BIC. The basics are: your name, account number or IBAN, BKKBJPJTXXX or BKKBJPJT and often your postal address.

Some sending banks also ask for the bank’s address. A mistake in the IBAN is harder to fix than it looks; copy them from your banking app rather than typing.

An incoming payment does not always arrive for the full amount. Charges on incoming payments differ from bank to bank; check the price list of Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD.. Agree with the sender who covers the fees, especially for larger amounts.

What a transfer from Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD. abroad really costs

When you send money to another country from Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD., the fee you see is only part of the cost. You pay the fee for the transfer itself, possibly fees charged by intermediary banks along the way and, above all, the exchange rate markup if the currency changes.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate, not in the fee: the bank converts using an exchange rate with a margin built in. Check their rate against the mid-market rate. The difference is your real conversion cost.

For a lot of routes, a transfer service is less expensive than a traditional bank transfer, mainly because of the exchange rate. Before your next transfer, it is worth comparing what arrives via GoldexPay. Choosing a specialist does not mean leaving Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD.: you simply pay the service from your account.

A note on our data

This directory is compiled from public sources and is updated regularly. Still, banks merge, rename themselves or retire codes. The number of codes on this page reflect what is in our directory and not on information from Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD. itself.

Use this page as a reference, rather than as the last word: the recipient’s bank details come first. GoldexPay is not affiliated with Bangkok Bank Public Company LTD.; we are a comparison site for money transfers. Spotted outdated information?

Is BKKBJPJT still correct? How to check

The most reliable source for a SWIFT code is the recipient’s own bank details – an invoice, a statement or a screenshot from online banking. Compare it against BKKBJPJT on this page and ask if anything does not match.

Mistakes in the BIC are annoying more than disastrous – usually the money comes back, minus fees and time lost. An error in the account number is a bigger problem, 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 – that confirms the format, not the owner. Where available, a name check before sending gives extra certainty. For a first payment, some people send a small test amount.
