Nibc Bank N.V. SWIFT/BIC code

DNIBNL2G – the SWIFT/BIC code of Nibc Bank N.V.

Whether a recipient gives you DNIBNL2G or DNIBNL2GXXX, you are looking at the same identifier for Nibc Bank N.V. in Netherlands. Banks worldwide use BIC codes to route payments between countries to the right institution. In practice you mostly come across it on international invoices, in your banking app and on the account details that Nibc Bank N.V. provides.

This page is meant to help anyone who sends money to an account at Nibc Bank N.V.. Remember that the BIC only identifies the bank, not the account: the IBAN or account number does that part.

Is DNIBNL2G still correct? How to check

Ask the recipient to copy their account details straight from their online banking. Compare that code with DNIBNL2G on this page and ask if anything does not match.

Errors in the SWIFT code are costly rather than fatal. A mistake in the account number can be a bigger problem, because the money may be credited to someone else.

An automatic check by your bank merely confirms that the IBAN is valid – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. More and more banks check the payee name with the account before you confirm – do not ignore a mismatch warning. A small test payment can be a sensible step for large sums, even if it costs an extra fee.

Changed bank details? Be careful

One of the most common tricks goes like this: an email arrives with a message claiming that a supplier now has new bank details and asking you to pay there from now on. A correct SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account – scammers simply use real codes.

Always confirm a change of bank details by phone. Watch out for urgent requests, odd spelling or a sender address that is slightly off. Already paid? Call the bank you paid from without delay and ask them to try to recall the payment and report the fraud.

Recipients can be targeted as well: one known trick is an overpayment and then sends a request to send back the difference. A screenshot of a transfer is no proof.

What the XXX in DNIBNL2GXXX means

A BIC is built from fixed blocks: characters one to four identify the bank, the next two show the country and the two after that mark the location. Together, those parts form DNIBNL2G.

Many payment forms work with both lengths. If yours requires eleven characters, use DNIBNL2GXXX.

Type the code in one piece, in upper case and without spaces, exactly as shown here. Copying the code beats retyping it, because one wrong letter changes the bank.

Paying into Nibc Bank N.V. in EUR

The currency of Netherlands is the Euro (EUR). If you send another currency, the amount has to be converted somewhere along the way. You rarely see a separate charge for the conversion; it is built into the rate.

Which bank converts the payment matters: every bank has its own margin. Check what EUR arrives via different services.

Exchange rates move during the day – some services let you fix a rate in advance. For recurring payments, small differences in the rate make a real difference over time.

How up to date is this code?

The details on this page come from publicly available data. Still, banks merge, rename themselves or change codes, so information can be out of date. Counts and locations are from our directory and may differ from what Nibc Bank N.V. publishes.

Treat our directory here as a handy check and rely on the recipient or Nibc Bank N.V. for the final confirmation. GoldexPay is an independent comparison service and not part of Nibc Bank N.V.. Spotted an error? Tell us via our contact form and we will look into it.

What a transfer from Nibc Bank N.V. abroad really costs

The price of a payment abroad is made up of more than one component, and the transfer fee is only the most visible one. Besides the transfer fee, correspondent or intermediary banks may deduct a fee, and when currencies are converted, the bank often applies a rate that is less favourable than the actual market rate.

Banks do not list the margin on the rate as a cost. Check the rate you are offered with the mid-market rate – the rate you find on financial news sites.

Specialised transfer providers frequently use a rate near the mid-market rate. Before your next transfer, it is worth to compare what arrives on GoldexPay instead of going straight to your bank. You can always keep your account at Nibc Bank N.V. as the source of the money; only the conversion and sending happen elsewhere.

Getting paid from abroad into a Nibc Bank N.V. account

When you are waiting for money from abroad, give the sender a complete set of details. That means: your full name as registered with Nibc Bank N.V., your IBAN or account number, the SWIFT/BIC code DNIBNL2GXXX and, often, your postal address.

Their bank may also ask for the bank address of Nibc Bank N.V.. Check every detail before you send them – a sender rarely spots a mistake in someone else’s details.

An incoming payment will not always land in full. Charges on incoming payments vary per bank – the price list of Nibc Bank N.V. tells you what applies. On invoices, it is common to state how the fees are split.

How long does an international transfer to Nibc Bank N.V. take?

How fast a transfer arrives at Nibc Bank N.V. depends on a few things: the currency, how many intermediary banks are involved, daily processing deadlines and time zones. Payments made after the cut-off time or just before a weekend or public holiday often go out a business day later. Sometimes a bank wants to know about the purpose of a payment.

A growing number of banks are connected to SWIFT gpi, which lets them follow a payment from bank to bank. Every gpi transfer carries a unique transaction reference, the UETR, which your bank can use to see where the money is. Save your transfer receipt until the recipient confirms.

A delayed transfer has to be investigated from the sending side on the basis of the transfer details. Request from the sender the payment receipt; that often settles the question quickly.

Nibc Bank N.V.: head office code versus branch codes

With 4 codes, Nibc Bank N.V. is one of the banks that register individual codes for branches. The head office code remains DNIBNL2GXXX.

In most cases you do not need to look up a branch: payments sent to DNIBNL2GXXX reach Nibc Bank N.V. without problems. Just use a branch code when your contact gives you that exact code.

If you are not sure, check with the recipient for the exact BIC in their bank details. Branch codes are more prone to change than DNIBNL2GXXX when a bank merges or closes offices.

Euro transfers to Nibc Bank N.V.: is a BIC needed?

Netherlands is part of the SEPA area, the zone for standardised euro payments. For a regular euro transfer within SEPA, you normally only need the IBAN; many banks no longer ask for the BIC.

Outside the euro and from non-SEPA countries, DNIBNL2GXXX or DNIBNL2G remains required. If your banking app has a field for the BIC regardless, adding DNIBNL2G does no harm.

SEPA transfers usually arrive within one business day, and instant transfers in seconds where both banks support them. Provided no currency is converted, the transfer tends to be inexpensive; costs rise once a conversion is involved.
