Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib SWIFT/BIC code

BEILLULL – the SWIFT/BIC code of Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib

BEILLULL and BEILLULLXXX are two ways of writing the same SWIFT/BIC code, and both point to Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib in Luxembourg. A SWIFT code tells the banks handling a payment which institution is meant to get the money. You will need it mostly when dealing with transfers between countries.

This page is meant to help people who sends money to an account at Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib. The SWIFT code on its own cannot identify an individual account holder; that is what the IBAN or account number .

SEPA payments and the Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib BIC

Luxembourg belongs to the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA). For a standard euro transfer from another SEPA country, the IBAN is usually enough and the BIC is often filled in automatically.

You will still need BEILLULLXXX when sending payments in other currencies or transfers from countries outside SEPA. Some forms also ask for the BIC; if so, fill in BEILLULL.

Euro payments within SEPA normally land by the next business day; instant payments are faster if both banks offer them. Fees for SEPA transfers are generally low.

Why Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib has an 8- and an 11-character code

The structure of every SWIFT code never changes: four characters for the institution, a two-letter country code and two for the location, sometimes followed by a branch code. That gives you BEILLULL, the short form of the code.

Most banks and apps work with either length. If yours asks for eleven characters, enter BEILLULLXXX.

Leave out spaces, dots when you type BEILLULL; the code is always written in one block. Watch for the letter O and the digit 0 and the letter I and the digit 1; they are easy to mix up.

Paying someone abroad from your Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib account

A bank transfer abroad costs rather more than the fee suggests. On top of the transfer fee, correspondent or intermediary banks may take a cut, and when currencies are converted the bank often uses a rate that is less favourable than the real market rate.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate, rather than in the fee: the bank converts using an exchange rate with a margin built in. A simple test: set the bank’s rate against the mid-market rate for the same moment and work out the difference on your amount.

For a lot of currency pairs, a transfer service is less expensive than a traditional bank transfer – mostly thanks to the rate. On GoldexPay we compare the amount that arrives across providers, so you can pick the cheapest route. Using a transfer service does not mean leaving Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib – you pay the provider from your own account.

Sending EUR to Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib

Accounts at Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib are usually held in EUR, the local currency of Luxembourg. Money sent in a different currency will be converted into EUR – and the bank that does it picks the rate. Each conversion costs something.

Which bank converts the money makes a difference. Often you pay less if you send EUR straight away through a provider that converts near the mid-market rate, so that the receiving bank does not need to convert again.

Exchange rates move all the time, and some providers let you lock in a rate. On larger amounts, even small difference in the rate can be worth more than the fee.

Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib: head office code versus branch codes

Having 2 codes, Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib belongs to the banks that register individual codes for branches. The main code is BEILLULLXXX.

For the vast majority of payments to a private or business account, the head office code BEILLULLXXX works fine. Only use a branch code when the recipient explicitly asks for it.

The best way is to copy the code directly from the recipient’s bank details. Branch codes are sometimes changed or retired when banks reorganise.

A note on our data

The details here come from publicly available data which we refresh regularly. It is possible that a code here is no longer current after a merger or reorganisation. The number of codes on this page are based on our own data, not official figures from Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib.

Before any payment of any size, confirm the BIC with Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib or with the recipient. GoldexPay is a comparison site for money transfers and not part of Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib. If you notice a mistake, we appreciate a message.

When will the money arrive at Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib?

There is no fixed delivery time for every transfer: some land the same day or the next, others take several business days. Bank holidays in either country can add a day or more to the journey. Compliance checks on larger or unusual payments may also add a delay, even when all details are correct.

Many banks are connected to SWIFT gpi, which lets them follow a payment from bank to bank. Each payment gets a unique transaction reference, the UETR that banks can use to trace it. Save the payment confirmation; it contains the details a bank needs to start a trace.

A missing payment has to be investigated from the sending side, using the payment confirmation. On the receiving end, it helps to check your statements for a slightly lower amount because fees can reduce the amount.

Incoming international payments to Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib

Someone abroad who wants to pay you will ask for several details about your account – incomplete details often cause delays. What they need is: the account holder’s name, account number or IBAN, BEILLULLXXX or BEILLULL and in many cases your postal address.

Certain sending banks also ask for the address of Banque Europeenne D'investissement- Bei/Eib. Double-check the details before you send them, because the sender’s bank usually copies them as is.

Do not be surprised if the incoming amount is below what the sender paid. Correspondent banks can take a fee and your own bank may charge for processing, and if the money is converted, an exchange rate margin comes on top. For business payments, you can state how the fees are split, so that nobody is left short.

Watch out for payment fraud

One of the most common tricks goes like this: an email arrives with a request saying that a contact has a new bank account and asking you to pay there from now on. A valid SWIFT code tells you nothing about whether the request is genuine – scammers simply use real codes.

Do not rely on contact details in the same message that contains the change. Pressure or requests to keep it quiet are warning signs – a real supplier can wait a day. If a payment has already gone to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately: the sooner they act, the better the chance of a recall.

Scams can also work the other way: someone claims to have sent more than agreed and wants you to refund the difference to a new account. A screenshot of a transfer is no proof.

How to check BEILLULL before you pay

The best place to find the correct BIC remains paperwork issued by the bank like a bank statement or the account page in online banking. Check it against BEILLULL on this page.

Errors in the BIC are costly rather than disastrous. Do not forget the account number: a mistake there is more difficult to undo than a wrong code.

A format check in your banking app only confirms that the IBAN exists – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. Some banks now check the name against the account – do not ignore a mismatch warning. A small test payment can be worth it for large sums.
