Eurobank Ad SWIFT/BIC code

SWIFT/BIC code of Eurobank Ad

The 8-character code ERBKRSBG and the 11-character code ERBKRSBGXXX identify one and the same institution: Eurobank Ad in Beograd, Serbia. The code has a single purpose: it ensures that an international payment reaches the right bank. It comes up mostly when dealing with transfers between countries.

We wrote this page to help people who pays into an account at Eurobank Ad without mistakes. A SWIFT code names a bank or branch, never a single account; the IBAN or account number does that.

How long does an international transfer to Eurobank Ad take?

An international transfer usually needs anywhere from one to several business days, depending on the currency, the route and the banks involved. Weekends and public holidays in the sending or receiving country can add a day or more to the journey. Extra checks on larger or unusual payments can also add some delay, regardless of the details.

If a transfer seems delayed, contact the sending bank for the status or the UETR. Keep the payment confirmation.

If the money does not arrive within the expected time, the sender should start with the bank that sent it rather than Eurobank Ad. Request from the sender the payment receipt including the reference – it helps your own bank look for the money.

Sending money abroad from Eurobank Ad

The price of an international transfer is made up of several parts – not just the fee on your screen. Besides the transfer fee, banks in between may deduct a fee, and when the money changes currency the bank often applies a rate that is less favourable than the real market rate.

The real cost is often in the rate: the bank converts at a rate with a margin built in. Check their rate with the mid-market rate.

Specialised transfer providers often use rates closer to the mid-market rate. Before your next transfer, take a minute comparing the total cost via GoldexPay. You can always keep your account at Eurobank Ad; only the conversion and sending happen elsewhere.

A note on our data

The directory on GoldexPay is compiled from publicly available sources. Even so, banks merge, rename themselves or change codes, so information can be out of date. The number of codes we show are based on our own data.

Before a payment that matters, always confirm the BIC with the recipient’s bank or with the recipient. We are an independent comparison service and not part of Eurobank Ad. Found an error? Let us know through the contact page and we will look into it.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

Stay wary if a contact suddenly wants you to send money to another account or a bank in another country. A correct SWIFT code tells you nothing about whether the request is genuine – scammers simply use real codes.

Verify changed bank details via a separate channel like a call to a number from an earlier contract, not by replying to the message. Pressure or requests to keep it quiet tend to be red flags; a genuine business can wait for you to check. Already paid? Call the bank you paid from straight away and ask them to start a recall.

People receiving money 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 proves nothing – check your own account.

ERBKRSBG or ERBKRSBGXXX – which one to use?

Every SWIFT/BIC code starts with the same eight core characters: a four-letter bank code, two letters for the country and a two-character location code. In this case, that core is ERBKRSBG.

XXX at the end of ERBKRSBGXXX does not stand for a missing value or an error: it indicates the main office of Eurobank Ad. Some forms ask for 11 characters, and then you simply add XXX behind ERBKRSBG.

In practice the code is typed in capitals, without spaces or dashes. Look out for O versus 0 or the letter I and the digit 1; they are easy to mix up.

Is ERBKRSBG still correct? How to check

Ask the recipient to send you the bank details directly from a recent statement. When the code you were given differs from ERBKRSBG or ERBKRSBGXXX, do not guess: check with the recipient or with Eurobank Ad directly.

With a wrong code, the transfer may be delayed, be returned or cost extra – sometimes after weeks of searching. Do not forget the IBAN: a mistake there is more difficult to correct than a wrong code.

Most online banking apps check the structure of IBANs and sometimes look up the BIC automatically, but that does not prove the account belongs to the right person. More and more banks check the payee name with the account before you confirm. For a first payment, many people start with a small test amount before sending the rest.

Eurobank Ad: head office code versus branch codes

With 2 codes, Eurobank Ad belongs to the banks that use individual codes for branches and departments. The head office code remains ERBKRSBGXXX.

If nobody asks you for a branch code, use ERBKRSBGXXX. Only use a branch code when the recipient explicitly asks for it.

Unsure which code applies? Ask the recipient or the bank itself. Branch codes can change when banks reorganise, so a code from an old document is not always valid.

Incoming international payments to Eurobank Ad

To receive a transfer from abroad into your account at Eurobank Ad, the person paying you needs not just the SWIFT code. Share your name as the bank knows it, your account number or IBAN, the BIC ERBKRSBGXXX and your address, which some banks require.

Certain banks want the name and address of Eurobank Ad in Beograd, so keep it at hand. Double-check every detail before you send them, because the sender’s bank usually copies them as is.

An incoming payment does not always arrive in full. Correspondent banks can take a fee, Eurobank Ad may charge for incoming payments, and when currencies differ, a markup on the rate applies. Agree with the sender who pays which costs.
