Expect that the amount credited is smaller than what the sender paid.

Verifying the SWIFT code of First Abu Dhabi Bank (Formerly National Bank of Abu Dhabi) Oman Main Br

The safest source for a SWIFT code is the recipient’s own bank details. If the code you have differs from NBADOMRX or NBADOMRXXXX, stop and ask: check with the recipient or with First Abu Dhabi Bank (Formerly National Bank of Abu Dhabi) Oman Main Br directly.

With a wrong code, the payment may be delayed, be returned or cost extra. Remember the account number: a mistake there can be harder to undo than a wrong BIC.

Choosing between the 3 SWIFT codes of First Abu Dhabi Bank (Formerly National Bank of Abu Dhabi) Oman Main Br

Scams that use SWIFT codes

Criminals often use fake invoices with new bank details sent from what looks like a familiar address. The fact that NBADOMRX exists does not mean that the account is legitimate – fraudsters use real bank codes as well.

Check new bank details through a separate channel like a call to a number from an earlier contract, not by replying to the message. Be suspicious of time pressure, unusual wording or an email address that differs by one letter. When money has already gone to a fraudster, contact your bank immediately.

Fraud can also target the receiver. Someone claims to have sent more than agreed and asks you to refund the extra. A screenshot of a transfer proves nothing.
