Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company) SWIFT/BIC code

GAZPRUMM – the SWIFT/BIC code of Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company)

GAZPRUMM and GAZPRUMMXXX are the short and the long form of the same SWIFT/BIC code, and both point to Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company) in Moscow. A BIC has a single purpose: it makes sure that an international payment reaches the right bank. In practice you usually come across the code on invoices from abroad, in your banking app and in the bank details that Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company) provides.

On this page you can read how the code means, when you need it and which other details you need for a transfer to or from Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company). The SWIFT code on its own does not identify an individual account holder; that is what the IBAN or account number is for.

A note on our data

The directory on GoldexPay is based on public sources and we update it periodically. Institutions reorganise, close branches and change codes – a directory can be a step behind. The number of codes on this page are based on what is in our directory and not on information from Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company) itself.

Incoming international payments to Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company)

A sender in another country will ask for several details about your account – incomplete details often cause delays. That means: your name as registered with Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company), your IBAN or account number, the BIC GAZPRUMMXXX and, often, your address.

It helps to add Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company) and Moscow too, because some payment forms have separate fields for them. A mistake in your account number is harder to fix than you might think, so copy the details from your online banking.

The amount you receive is often less than what was sent. Fees for incoming transfers vary from bank to bank. Make clear with the sender who pays which costs.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Be wary when someone unexpectedly asks you to pay into another account. That GAZPRUMM is a real code does not mean that the account is genuine.

Before paying, confirm changed bank details through a phone call on a number you know, not one from the message. Be suspicious of time pressure, odd spelling or an email address that differs by one letter. Already paid? Call your bank without delay and ask them to try to recall the payment and report the fraud.

People receiving money can be targeted as well: a classic trick is a buyer who pays too much and then sends a request to send back the difference. A screenshot of a transfer proves nothing; only your own account shows what has arrived.

Why Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company) has an 8- and an 11-character code

A SWIFT code is made up of a few fixed parts: the first four letters stand for the bank, characters five and six show the country and the two after that indicate the location. Together, these eight characters make up GAZPRUMM – the version you usually see online.

Most payment forms accept both lengths. If a form requires eleven characters, enter GAZPRUMMXXX; if it wants eight, use GAZPRUMM.

In practice the code is written in capitals, without spaces or dashes. A wrong character may route a payment to another bank, so copy it carefully.

Verifying the SWIFT code of Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company)

The best place to find the correct BIC remains a document from the bank itself. When the code you were given does not match GAZPRUMM or GAZPRUMMXXX, do not guess: check with the recipient or with Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company) directly.

An incorrect BIC may lead to a delay, a payment being sent back or additional charges. An error in the account number is a bigger problem, because the money may be credited to someone else.

Most online banking apps check the format of IBANs and sometimes look up the BIC automatically, but that does not prove the account belongs to the right person. Where available, a payee name check before sending gives extra certainty. Sending a small amount first can be worth it for a large first payment, even if it costs an extra fee.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company)

A SWIFT payment usually takes anywhere from one to several business days. Payments made late in the day or on a weekend or public holiday often go out a business day later. Sometimes a bank wants to know what the payment is for, which can hold things up.

Many banks use SWIFT gpi. Each gpi transfer carries a unique reference, the UETR that banks can use to trace it. Keep the payment confirmation until the money has arrived – you will need it for any trace request.

If a payment has not arrived within the expected time, the sender should contact the bank that sent it. As a recipient, it helps to look at your account to see a slightly lower amount because fees can reduce the amount.

International transfers from Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company): the real cost

When you send money to another country from Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company), the visible fee is rarely all of what you pay. There is the transfer fee, possibly charges from correspondent banks in between and, most importantly, the exchange rate markup.

Many banks rarely list their exchange rate markup as a cost. Check their rate against the mid-market rate.

Specialised transfer providers often use rates closer to the mid-market rate with clearer fees. GoldexPay compares these services next to each other, showing the amount the recipient gets. Choosing a specialist does not mean closing your account at Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company): you simply pay the service from your account.

Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company): head office code versus branch codes

Our directory lists 21 SWIFT/BIC codes for Gazprombank (Joint - Stock Company). Next to the head office code GAZPRUMMXXX, there are codes for branches, departments or specific services.

For the vast majority of payments to a private or business account, the head office code GAZPRUMMXXX is what you need. Just use a branch code when the recipient explicitly asks for it, for example on a letter or invoice.

The best way is to take the code straight from the recipient’s bank details. Branch codes are more likely to change than the head office code.
