If an invoice shows MMCCNZ21 or MMCCNZ21XXX, you are looking at the same address for Mmc Limited in New Zealand. Every bank on the SWIFT network uses BIC codes to route international transfers to the correct bank.

This page is meant to help people who pays into an account at Mmc Limited and wants to get the details right. A SWIFT code identifies a bank or branch, not a specific account.

Sending money abroad from Mmc Limited

An international bank payment can cost rather more than the fee suggests. You pay the fee for the transfer itself, sometimes fees charged by intermediary banks along the way and, most importantly, the exchange rate markup.

Banks do not show the margin on the rate as a cost. Compare their rate with the mid-market rate – the rate you find on financial news sites.

Money transfer services often use a rate near the mid-market rate with clearer fees. GoldexPay compares what recipients receive across services, so you can pick the cheapest route. You can always use your account at Mmc Limited as the source of the money.

About this information

The directory on GoldexPay is compiled from public sources and we update it periodically. It is possible that a code here is no longer current, for example after a merger. Counts and locations come from our directory and are not confirmed by Mmc Limited.

For a payment of any size, check the BIC with the recipient’s bank or the recipient. GoldexPay is independent of Mmc Limited, we only compare transfer services. Found outdated information? Tell us via our contact form.

The New Zealand Dollar and what conversion costs you

Accounts at Mmc Limited are usually held in NZD, the local currency. When you pay money in a different currency has to be converted somewhere along the way – by your bank, by Mmc Limited or by a bank in between. There is rarely a separate line for the conversion.

Who does the conversion has an effect on the final amount, as rates and margins differ per bank. Compare how much NZD arrives via several services.

The rate for NZD changes throughout the day, so the amount you see is usually only valid for a short time. On larger amounts, a small gap in the rate adds up quickly.

How long does an international transfer to Mmc Limited take?

A SWIFT payment usually 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 a day or more. Sometimes a bank wants to know what the payment is for.

Many banks use SWIFT gpi, which lets them follow a payment from bank to bank. Each payment carries a unique transaction reference, the UETR. Money transfer services usually provide a status in their app so you can see where the payment has got.

The bank that sent the money can request a trace or a recall; the receiving side usually has nothing to trace yet. As a recipient, you can check your account to see a partial amount because fees can reduce the amount.

Choosing between the 9 SWIFT codes of Mmc Limited

Our directory lists 9 SWIFT/BIC codes for Mmc Limited. Next to the head office code MMCCNZ21XXX, you will find codes for individual branches and departments.

If nobody asks you for a branch code, go with MMCCNZ21XXX or its short form MMCCNZ21. If you have been given a branch code, use it as it is instead of swapping it for the head office code.

The best way is to copy the code straight from the account holder’s invoice. Codes can change when banks reorganise, so do not rely on old paperwork.

Before you send: check the Mmc Limited code

The best place to find the right code remains a document from the bank itself like a bank statement or the account page in online banking. Check that code against MMCCNZ21 on this page; if they differ, ask before you pay.

A wrong SWIFT code may lead to delays, a returned payment or additional charges. Do not forget the IBAN: an error there can be more difficult to correct than a wrong code.

An automatic check by your bank merely confirms that the code exists – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. More and more banks compare the payee name against the account before you confirm – do not ignore a mismatch warning. For a first payment, many people send a small test amount and wait for confirmation.

Getting paid from abroad into a Mmc Limited account

When you are waiting for money from abroad, send the payer all details at once. What they need is: your name, account number or IBAN, MMCCNZ21XXX and often your home address.

You can include the bank name and Auckland too, because some payment forms have separate fields for them. A typo in your account number can be harder to fix than you might think; copy them from your banking app rather than typing.

An incoming payment does not always land for the full amount. Correspondent banks can take a fee, and if the money is converted, a markup on the rate comes on top. Agree with the sender who covers the fees before the money is sent.

Why Mmc Limited has an 8- and an 11-character code

A BIC is made up of fixed blocks: characters one to four identify the bank, the next two show the country and characters seven and eight indicate the location. The result is MMCCNZ21 for Mmc Limited.

The full version has a three-character extension for a branch or department. When those three characters are XXX, they simply mean the head office, which is why MMCCNZ21XXX and MMCCNZ21 lead to the same place.

As a rule the code is typed in capitals, without spaces or dashes. Copying the code beats retyping it, because one wrong letter changes the bank.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Fraudsters regularly send fake invoices with changed bank details sent from what looks like a familiar address. A real SWIFT code tells you nothing about who owns the account: scammers use real codes of real banks.

Never trust a phone number in the same message that announces the new account. Pressure or requests to keep it quiet are red flags; a genuine business can wait for you to check. When money was sent to the wrong account, call your bank right away.

Recipients are targeted too: one known trick is a buyer who pays too much followed by a request to send back the difference to another account. Wait until the money is actually in your account.
