When will the money arrive at Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank,limited?

A SWIFT payment typically needs anywhere from one to several business days – it depends on currency, route and the banks in between. Weekends and public holidays in the sending or receiving country add extra days to the journey. Compliance checks on larger or unusual payments can also add a delay.

If a transfer seems delayed, contact your bank about the tracking status; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Keep the payment confirmation until the money has arrived; it contains the details a bank needs to start a trace.

A delayed transfer is traced by the sending bank, using the payment confirmation. On the receiving end, it helps to check your account to see a partial amount, since fees may have been deducted.

Changed bank details? Be careful

Be wary if someone unexpectedly wants you to send money to a different account or a bank in another country. The fact that STBCJPJ2 exists is no guarantee that the account is genuine.

Do not rely on contact details in the same message that announces the change. Be suspicious of time pressure, unusual wording or an email address that differs by one letter. When a payment has already gone to a fraudster, call your bank right away: the sooner they act, the better the chance of a recall.

Scams also work the other way: someone sends more than agreed and wants you to return the extra to a new account. Do not act before the money has really arrived and check with Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank,limited if anything seems off.
