Leaseplan Corporation N.V. SWIFT/BIC code

SWIFT/BIC code of Leaseplan Corporation N.V.

The 8-character code LPLNNL2A and the 11-character code LPLNNL2AXXX identify the same bank: Leaseplan Corporation N.V.. Banks worldwide use these codes to route international transfers to the right institution. In daily life you mostly come across the code on invoices from abroad, in your banking app and in the bank details that Leaseplan Corporation N.V. provides.

Further down we go through the practical questions: receiving money at Leaseplan Corporation N.V., sending money abroad and how to check the code before you confirm a payment. The BIC identifies a bank or branch, not a single account.

Is LPLNNL2A still correct? How to check

Ask the recipient to send you their bank details directly from a recent statement. Compare it against LPLNNL2A here and ask if anything does not match.

If the code is wrong, the payment might be delayed, bounce back or end up costing more, and tracing it can take weeks. Remember the account number: a mistake there can be more difficult to correct than a wrong BIC.

Most online banking apps check the format of IBANs – that confirms the format, not the owner. If your bank offers it, a name check before sending adds extra certainty. A small test payment is a sensible step for a large first payment despite the extra fee.

What to give a sender who pays you at Leaseplan Corporation N.V.

When you expect money from abroad, give the sender everything they need in one go. Share the account holder’s name, the IBAN or account number, the BIC LPLNNL2AXXX and your address.

Some sending banks also ask for the address of Leaseplan Corporation N.V.; it does no harm to include it. A typo in the IBAN can be harder to fix than it looks.

Money from abroad does not always arrive in full. Correspondent banks can take a fee, Leaseplan Corporation N.V. may charge for incoming payments, and if the currency changes, an exchange rate margin comes on top. Agree with the sender who covers the fees.

Choosing between the 2 SWIFT codes of Leaseplan Corporation N.V.

With 2 codes in 2 locations, Leaseplan Corporation N.V. is one of the banks that use separate codes for parts of the organisation and departments. The main code remains LPLNNL2AXXX.

For most incoming transfers, the head office code LPLNNL2AXXX works fine. Only use a branch code when the account holder gives you that exact code, for example on an invoice or in their bank details.

If you are not sure, check with the recipient which code their bank gave them. Codes for branches are more prone to change than LPLNNL2AXXX.

Sending money abroad from Leaseplan Corporation N.V.

When you transfer money abroad via Leaseplan Corporation N.V., the fee you see is only part of what you pay. There is the transfer fee, possibly fees charged by intermediary banks along the way and, above all, the margin on the exchange rate.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate, not in the fee: many banks convert using an exchange rate with a margin built in. Check their rate against the mid-market rate. The difference is your real conversion cost.

Money transfer services frequently offer rates closer to the mid-market rate with clearer fees. GoldexPay compares what recipients receive across providers, which makes the cheapest option easy to spot. Using a transfer service does not mean leaving Leaseplan Corporation N.V..

How up to date is this code?

The codes here come from publicly available data that we update regularly. It is possible that a code on this page is no longer current, for example after a merger. The number of codes on this page reflect what is in our directory and not on information from Leaseplan Corporation N.V. itself.

For a payment that matters, always confirm the code with Leaseplan Corporation N.V. or the recipient. We are a comparison service for money transfers and not part of Leaseplan Corporation N.V.. Found outdated information? Let us know via our contact form so we can correct it.

The Euro and what conversion costs you

Accounts at Leaseplan Corporation N.V. are typically held in EUR, the national currency. A payment in a foreign currency will be exchanged into EUR before it reaches the account – and the bank that does it picks the rate. Every conversion eats into the amount – usually through the rate rather than a fee.

Who converts the payment matters. Compare how much EUR the recipient gets via different providers; the difference between options can be larger than you expect.

The EUR rate fluctuates throughout the day. With bigger transfers, even seemingly small difference in the rate adds up quickly.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Criminals regularly use fake invoices with new bank details sent from what looks like a familiar address. That LPLNNL2A is a real code does not mean that a request mentioning it is legitimate – fraudsters use real bank codes as well.

Do not trust a phone number from the same email that contains the new account. Urgency or requests to keep it quiet tend to be warning signs – a real supplier can wait a day. If a payment was sent to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately.

Scams can also target the receiver. Someone claims to have sent more than agreed and wants you to refund the extra to a new account. A payment confirmation from the sender proves nothing; only your own account shows what has arrived.

Paying Leaseplan Corporation N.V. in euros within SEPA

Inside SEPA, euro transfers to Leaseplan Corporation N.V. follow the same rules. A field for the BIC is often optional for those payments.

You will still need LPLNNL2AXXX for payments in other currencies or transfers from countries outside SEPA. If your banking app has a field for the BIC anyway, entering LPLNNL2A does no harm.

Instant euro transfers have become increasingly available within SEPA; check with Leaseplan Corporation N.V. whether it applies to your account. Provided the payment stays in euros, a SEPA transfer is inexpensive; costs rise once a conversion is involved.

What the XXX in LPLNNL2AXXX means

Each SWIFT/BIC code has the same eight core characters: four letters for the bank, a two-letter country code and two characters for the location. Together, these eight characters form LPLNNL2A.

XXX at the end of LPLNNL2AXXX does not stand for a placeholder or an error: it stands for the head office of Leaseplan Corporation N.V.. Certain payment forms insist on 11 characters, and then you simply add XXX after LPLNNL2A.

Type the code as one block, in upper case and without separators, exactly as shown here. A single character may route the money to a different institution.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Leaseplan Corporation N.V.

A SWIFT payment typically takes anywhere from one to several business days – it depends on currency, route and the banks in between. Bank holidays in either country can add extra days to the journey. Sometimes a bank asks what the payment is for.

Many banks are connected to SWIFT gpi for faster and traceable payments. Every payment carries a unique transaction reference, the UETR. Keep the payment confirmation until the recipient confirms; it contains the details a bank needs to start a trace.

A delayed transfer is investigated from the sending side, using the payment confirmation. Ask the sender for the payment receipt with the date and reference – it helps your own bank look for the money.
