SWIFT/BIC codes in Netherlands: banks starting with H

SWIFT/BIC codes in Netherlands

On this page you find codes for 704 banks in Netherlands, 1714 codes in all. A SWIFT code tells every bank in the chain which institution should receive an international payment.

Search for the recipient’s bank below and open its page to see all codes we have and what else a transfer requires. The sections below covers how the codes work, the cost of transfers and how to avoid mistakes before you send money.

SEPA transfers to Netherlands

Inside SEPA, euro payments to Netherlands follow the same rules, so the IBAN does the job in most cases. The BIC field is often optional for those payments.

The BIC does matter for payments in other currencies and when the money comes from outside SEPA. Euro payments within SEPA normally land by the next business day. As long as the payment stays in euros, a SEPA transfer tends to be cheap.

When does money sent to Netherlands arrive?

How quickly money reaches Netherlands is determined by a few things: which currency you send, how many intermediary banks are involved, daily processing deadlines and time zones. Public holidays in either country can add extra days to the journey.

If the money seems late, ask the sender to contact their own bank for a trace. Money transfer services often provide a status in their app, which makes it easier to see where the money is.

Sending money to Netherlands for less

When you send money to Netherlands via your bank, the fee you see is rarely all of what you pay. There is a transfer fee, possibly fees from correspondent banks along the way and, above all, the exchange rate markup if the money is converted.

The real cost is often in the rate, not in the fee. An easy check: set the rate you get against the mid-market rate and look at the difference.

For many currency pairs, a specialist provider turns out to be less expensive than a bank, mainly because of the rate. Before your next transfer to Netherlands, it is worth to compare what arrives on GoldexPay.

Filter: banks in Netherlands with :letter

You are looking at a selection: just banks in Netherlands with a name starting with :letter. The totals mentioned above always refer to the whole country.

Some banks are listed under their official name, which may start with words like Bank or Banco, so the letter can differ from what you expect. The complete list is available if you cannot find the bank here.

About our data and how to check a code

Have the recipient send you their bank details straight from a recent statement. A wrong code can cause delays, a returned payment or extra fees – compare it with the code in our list.

We collect SWIFT/BIC codes from publicly available data and check our list regularly. Still, banks merge or retire codes. For any payment that matters, check the BIC with the recipient. GoldexPay is an independent comparison service and not part of any bank listed here.

Be wary of invoices containing changed bank details. A valid BIC says nothing about whether a request is genuine: criminals use real codes too.

Incoming international payments in Netherlands

If you are waiting for a payment from another country on an account in Netherlands, send the payer all details at once. Give them your name as registered with the bank, your account number or IBAN, the BIC of your bank and your address.

The code of your bank is in our list. Certain banks also want your bank’s address.

The amount you receive can be lower than what was sent. Intermediary banks may deduct a fee, and when currencies differ, an exchange rate margin comes on top. Make clear with the sender who pays which costs before the money is sent.

Sending EUR to Netherlands

Netherlands uses the Euro (EUR). Money sent in a different currency will be converted into EUR on its way to the recipient.

Who converts the payment matters, because each party uses its own rate. Check how much EUR arrives via several services. Exchange rates move during the day.

Recognising a SWIFT code from Netherlands

A SWIFT code is 8 or 11 characters long and the parts always come in the same order. The first four letters identify the bank, the fifth and sixth characters are the country code and the next two mark the location.

In every code from Netherlands, letters five and six show the ISO country code of Netherlands – that is the quickest way to spot one. Codes with other letters in that position come from a bank abroad, even if the bank name looks familiar.

The optional last three characters identify a branch or department; XXX means the head office. In most cases the head office code is what you need unless the recipient asks for a specific branch.

Most SWIFT codes in Netherlands: Robeco Institutional Asset Management B.V.

In our directory, Robeco Institutional Asset Management B.V. holds the largest number of SWIFT/BIC codes of all banks in Netherlands. The head office uses RGVMNL2RXXX.

The number of codes says something about how it registers branches and services than about how big it is. If not the recipient asks for a branch, RGVMNL2RXXX is fine for a payment to Robeco Institutional Asset Management B.V..
