SWIFT/BIC code of Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD.

CSFBJPJX and CSFBJPJXXXX are two spellings of the same SWIFT/BIC code, and both point to Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD. in Tokyo. A SWIFT code shows every bank in the chain which institution should receive the money, a bit like a postal address for banks. It comes up mostly for transfers between countries or a currency.

On this page you will find how the code is put together, when it matters and what else a transfer to or from Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD. requires. The SWIFT code alone does not identify an individual account holder; for that you need the account number or IBAN .

How long does an international transfer to Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD. take?

An international transfer usually takes anywhere from one to several business days. Transfers sent after the cut-off time or on a weekend or public holiday often go out the next business day. Extra checks by one of the banks may also cause some delay.

If the money seems delayed, ask your bank about the tracking status and the transaction reference; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Keep your transfer receipt until the recipient confirms.

Only the sending bank can start an official trace. Ask the sender for the payment receipt with the date and reference – it helps your own bank look for the money.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Stay alert if someone suddenly asks you to send money to a different account. The fact that CSFBJPJX exists does not mean that a request mentioning it is legitimate; criminals use the codes of real banks too.

Verify new payment details via a different channel like a call to a number from an earlier contract. Urgency and secrecy tend to be warning signs – a real supplier can wait a day. If money was sent to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately: the sooner they act, the better the chance of a recall.

Scams also target the receiver. Someone sends too much and asks you to refund the extra via a different route. Wait until the money has really arrived.

International transfers from Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD.: the real cost

A bank transfer abroad can cost rather more than the listed fee. You pay the transfer fee, sometimes charges from correspondent banks along the way and, above all, the margin on the exchange rate if the currency changes.

The markup on the rate is often the biggest item. An easy check: put the bank’s rate against the mid-market rate for the same moment and look at the difference.

Specialised transfer providers often offer rates closer to the mid-market rate and lower fees. On GoldexPay you can compare what recipients receive with different services, which makes the cheapest option easy to spot. Using a transfer service does not require closing your account at Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD. – you pay the provider from your own account.

What to give a sender who pays you at Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD.

If you expect money from abroad, send the payer all details at once. What they need is: your name, account number or IBAN, CSFBJPJXXXX or CSFBJPJX and, for some countries, your postal address.

It helps to include Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD. and Tokyo too, because some payment forms have separate fields for them. Double-check every detail before you share them.

What lands in your account can be less than what was sent. Correspondent banks can take a fee, Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD. may charge for incoming payments, and if the money is converted, a markup on the rate comes on top. For business payments, it is common to agree who bears the costs, so that nobody is left short.

Japanese Yen (JPY) and conversion costs

Accounts at Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD. are typically held in JPY, the national currency. When you pay another currency gets converted somewhere along the way: by your bank, an intermediary or Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD. itself. You rarely see a separate charge for that conversion.

Who does the conversion affects the final amount, as rates and margins differ per bank. Transferring the money directly in JPY usually avoids a second conversion – as long as your own rate is good.

The JPY rate fluctuates constantly. With bigger transfers, a small gap in the rate can be worth more than the fee.

How up to date is this code?

The codes on this page come from publicly available data that we update regularly. Institutions reorganise, close branches and change codes, and a directory never catches every change immediately. Figures such as the number of codes come from our directory and are not confirmed by Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD..

Use our data as a starting point, not as the last word: the recipient’s bank details come first. GoldexPay is independent of Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD.. Spotted outdated information? Tell us through the contact page and we will look into it.

Verifying the SWIFT code of Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD.

The best place to find the right code is a document from the bank itself like a bank statement or the account page in online banking. If the code you have differs from CSFBJPJX or CSFBJPJXXXX, do not guess: check with the recipient or with Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD. directly.

If the code is wrong, the payment may get stuck, be returned or cost extra, and tracing it can take weeks. An error in the IBAN or account number can be more serious, because the money may be credited to someone else, so check that just as carefully.

A format check by your bank merely tells you that the IBAN exists – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. Where available, a name check on the recipient gives an extra layer of safety. When you pay someone new, many people start with a small amount first.

8 or 11 characters: CSFBJPJX versus CSFBJPJXXXX

A SWIFT code is built from a few fixed parts: the first four letters identify the bank, the next two give the country and the two after that mark the location. Together, these eight characters make up CSFBJPJX – the version you usually see online.

XXX at the end of CSFBJPJXXXX is not a missing value or a mistake: it stands for the head office of Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) LTD.. Some banking apps ask for 11 characters, and then you can enter XXX after CSFBJPJX.

Leave out spaces or dashes when you enter CSFBJPJX; the code is always written in one block. Watch for the letter O and the digit 0 and I versus 1; they are easy to mix up.
