SWIFT/BIC codes in Marshall Islands

Bank SWIFT codes for Marshall Islands

Here you will find codes for 4 banks in Marshall Islands – 4 codes altogether. A BIC shows the banks handling a transfer exactly which bank is meant to get an international payment.

Search for the recipient’s bank in the list and open its page to see all codes we have and what else a transfer requires. Further down you can read how codes from Marshall Islands are built, how to send money to Marshall Islands without overpaying and what to check before you pay.

How SWIFT codes from Marshall Islands are built

A BIC is either 8 or 11 characters long and follows a fixed pattern. The first four letters stand for the bank, the fifth and sixth characters are the country code and characters seven and eight give the location.

You can recognise a code from Marshall Islands from letters five and six: they always show the ISO country code of Marshall Islands. If the country letters point to another country, you are looking at a bank somewhere else.

An 11-character code ends in a branch code, where XXX means the head office. For most transfers the head office code is fine, unless the recipient gives you a branch code.

Incoming international payments in Marshall Islands

Someone abroad who wants to pay you will ask for a few details from you, and missing ones are a common cause of delays. Give them the account holder’s name, your account number or IBAN, your bank’s SWIFT code and your address.

Look up your bank in the list on this page and compare the code with your own bank details. Certain sending banks also ask for your bank’s address, so keep it at hand.

What lands in your account can be less than the amount sent. Correspondent banks can take a fee, and if the money is converted, an exchange rate margin applies. Make clear with the sender who pays which costs before the money is sent.

Paying in USD: what conversion costs you

The local currency in Marshall Islands is the US Dollar (USD). When you pay another currency, the amount has to be converted somewhere along the way – by your bank, a bank in between or the recipient’s bank.

Who converts the payment matters: every bank has its own margin. Compare what USD the recipient gets via different providers before choosing one. Exchange rates move during the day.

How long does a transfer to Marshall Islands take?

There is no single answer for payments to Marshall Islands: some land the same day or the next while others need several business days. Transfers sent late in the day or just before a weekend or public holiday often go out a business day later.

If a transfer seems delayed, the sender should contact their own bank – the receiving bank often cannot see a payment that has not arrived. Money transfer services usually show tracking in their app so you can follow the payment.

Sending money to Marshall Islands for less

The price of a transfer to Marshall Islands has several parts, and the fee on your screen is only one of them. You pay a transfer fee, sometimes fees from correspondent banks along the way and, most importantly, the margin on the exchange rate if the money is converted.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate, not in the fee – the bank builds a margin into its rate. An easy check: set the rate you get next to the mid-market rate and work out the difference on your amount.

Money transfer services frequently use a rate near the mid-market rate with clearer fees. Before you send money to Marshall Islands, it is worth comparing the total cost on GoldexPay.

Check the code before you pay

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. If the code you have does not match our list, stop and ask.

The directory on GoldexPay is compiled from public sources that we update periodically. Banks merge, close branches and retire codes. Before a payment that matters, check the code with the recipient’s bank. We are an independent comparison site for money transfers, not a bank.

Scammers often use payment requests with new bank details. Always confirm changed details through a separate channel, using a number you already had.

In our data, Anametrics Holdings Limited has the largest number of SWIFT/BIC codes in Marshall Islands. Its main office uses ANHDMH22XXX and that code covers most payments.

Paying a bank in Marshall Islands from abroad

Marshall Islands is not part of the SEPA area, the European zone for uniform euro payments. Payments from abroad normally travel through the SWIFT network – which is why you need the BIC of the recipient’s bank.

Depending on the country, accounts are identified by a domestic account number rather than an IBAN, sometimes with an extra bank or branch code. Check with the recipient exactly which details their bank requires for incoming international payments; banks often publish instructions for this. SWIFT payments can pass through correspondent banks.
