On this page we explain what the code means, when it matters and what else a transfer to or from Lombard Odier (Europe) S.A. Netherlands Branch V. requires. The SWIFT code on its own does not identify an individual account holder; for that you need the account number or IBAN is for.

LOCYNL2A or LOCYNL2AXXX – which one to use?

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Lombard Odier (Europe) S.A. Netherlands Branch V.

A SWIFT payment typically needs anywhere from one to several business days – it depends on currency, route and the banks in between. Transfers sent after the cut-off time or on a weekend or public holiday often go out the next business day. Compliance checks by one of the banks can also cause some delay, regardless of the details.

When a payment takes longer than expected, ask your bank about the status or the UETR; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Save your transfer receipt until the money has arrived.

Only the sending bank can start an official trace or a recall – the recipient’s bank often cannot see a payment that has not arrived. Ask the sender for the payment receipt.

Getting paid from abroad into a Lombard Odier (Europe) S.A. Netherlands Branch V. account

How to check LOCYNL2A before you pay

The safest source for the BIC is the recipient’s own bank details: an invoice, a bank statement or their online banking. Compare that code against LOCYNL2A here and ask if anything does not match.

A wrong SWIFT code may lead to delays, a returned payment or additional charges along the way. A mistake in the account number is more serious; check it just as carefully.

Most online banking apps check the structure of IBANs – that confirms the format, not the owner. More and more banks compare the name against the account before you confirm; take any warning seriously. Sending a small amount first can be worth it for a large first payment despite the extra fee.

Sending EUR to Lombard Odier (Europe) S.A. Netherlands Branch V.

Netherlands uses the Euro. When you pay another currency it has to be converted somewhere along the way: by your bank, an intermediary or Lombard Odier (Europe) S.A. Netherlands Branch V. itself. Each conversion costs the amount – usually through the rate rather than a fee.

Where the conversion happens affects the final amount, since every bank sets its own rate. In many cases it is cheaper if you send EUR straight away through a transfer service with a good rate, so that the receiving bank does not need to convert again.

The EUR rate fluctuates constantly. If you pay regularly, small differences in the rate add up over a year.

Changed bank details? Be careful

Scammers often send fake invoices containing new bank details. A real SWIFT code tells you nothing about whether the request is genuine – scammers simply use real codes.

Always confirm a change of bank details by phone, using a number you already had. Be suspicious of urgent requests, unusual wording or a sender address that is slightly off. Already paid? Contact your bank straight away and ask them to try to recall the payment; also report it to the police.

People receiving money are targeted too: one known trick is an overpayment followed by a request to refund the difference to another account. Do not act before the money has really arrived and check with Lombard Odier (Europe) S.A. Netherlands Branch V. if anything seems off.

What a transfer from Lombard Odier (Europe) S.A. Netherlands Branch V. abroad really costs

An international bank payment can cost rather more than the fee suggests. There is the transfer fee, possibly fees charged by intermediary banks along the way and, above all, the margin on the exchange rate when the money is converted.

Banks rarely show the margin on the rate separately. A simple test: set the rate you get next to the mid-market rate for the same moment and work out the difference on your amount.

Money transfer services often use rates closer to the mid-market rate with clearer fees. Next time you send money, take a minute to compare what arrives on GoldexPay.

SEPA transfers normally land by the next business day; instant payments are faster if both banks offer them. Charges on SEPA transfers tend to be low, as long as no currency conversion is involved.
