Computershare Proprietary Limited SWIFT/BIC code

CSEVZAJJ – the SWIFT/BIC code of Computershare Proprietary Limited

CSEVZAJJ and CSEVZAJJXXX are two spellings of the same SWIFT/BIC code, and both lead to Computershare Proprietary Limited in Rosebank. A SWIFT code shows the sending bank exactly which bank should receive the money, a bit like a postal address for banks. In practice you usually come across the code on international invoices, in payment forms and in the bank details of Computershare Proprietary Limited customers.

We wrote this page to help anyone who pays into an account at Computershare Proprietary Limited and wants to get the details right. Keep in mind that the SWIFT code just identifies the bank, not the account: the IBAN or account number takes care of that.

Before you send: check the Computershare Proprietary Limited code

Have the recipient copy the account details straight from their online banking. Check it with CSEVZAJJ on this page and ask if anything does not match.

An incorrect BIC may lead to delays, a returned payment or extra fees for investigation. Remember the IBAN: a mistake there can be harder to correct than a wrong BIC.

A format check in your banking app merely tells you that the IBAN is valid – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. If your bank offers it, a name check before sending gives extra certainty. For a first payment, some people start with a small test amount.

Paying someone abroad from your Computershare Proprietary Limited account

An international bank payment can cost rather more than the fee suggests. You pay the fee for the transfer itself, sometimes charges from correspondent banks along the way and, above all, the margin on the exchange rate.

The markup on the rate tends to be the biggest cost even though it is not listed as a fee. An easy check: set the rate you get next to the mid-market rate for the same moment and work out the difference on your amount.

For many routes, a transfer service turns out to be less expensive than a traditional bank transfer. Before your next transfer, it is worth comparing what arrives on GoldexPay rather than accepting the bank’s rate by default. You can still use your account at Computershare Proprietary Limited as the source of the money, while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

Getting paid from abroad into a Computershare Proprietary Limited account

If you are waiting for money from abroad, send the payer everything they need in one go. That means: your full name exactly as it appears on the account, your IBAN or account number, the BIC CSEVZAJJXXX and, often, your postal address.

Certain sending banks also ask for the address of Computershare Proprietary Limited, so keep it at hand. Check every detail before you send them – a sender rarely spots a mistake in someone else’s details.

Expect that the incoming amount is smaller than what the sender paid. Fees for incoming transfers vary per bank – the price list of Computershare Proprietary Limited tells you what applies. Agree with the sender who pays which costs before the money is sent.

Sending ZAR to Computershare Proprietary Limited

The currency in South Africa is the South African Rand (ZAR). If you send another currency gets converted at some point. Each conversion costs something – usually through the rate rather than a fee.

Which bank converts the payment matters: every bank has its own margin. Sending the money directly in ZAR often prevents a second conversion by Computershare Proprietary Limited – as long as your own rate is good.

Exchange rates move all the time. On larger amounts, even small gap in the rate can be worth more than the fee.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Stay wary when someone unexpectedly wants you to send money to another account. That CSEVZAJJ is a real code does not mean that a request mentioning it is legitimate.

Verify changed bank details via a separate channel like a call to a number from an earlier contract, not by replying to the message. Urgency and requests to keep it quiet tend to be warning signs – a real supplier can wait a day. When a payment was sent to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately.

Recipients are targeted too: a classic trick is a buyer who pays too much followed by a request to send back the difference. A payment confirmation from the sender is no proof – check your own account.

When will the money arrive at Computershare Proprietary Limited?

There is no fixed delivery time for every transfer: many arrive the same day or the next, others take several business days. Payments made after the cut-off time or just before weekends and holidays often start a business day later. Extra checks on larger or unusual payments may also cause some delay, even when all details are correct.

Many banks use SWIFT gpi for faster and traceable payments. Each payment gets a unique transaction reference, the UETR that banks can use to trace it. Keep the payment confirmation.

The bank that sent the money can request a trace; the receiving side usually has nothing to trace yet. On the receiving end, it helps to look at your statements for a partial amount.

Head office or branch code at Computershare Proprietary Limited?

Having 4 codes, Computershare Proprietary Limited is one of the banks that register separate codes for parts of the organisation and departments. The head office code is CSEVZAJJXXX.

In most cases there is no need to look up a branch: transfers sent to CSEVZAJJXXX reach Computershare Proprietary Limited correctly. When you receive a specific code, stick to it rather than swapping it with the head office code.

The safest approach is to take the code straight from the recipient’s statement. Codes for branches are more likely to be retired than the head office code.

CSEVZAJJ or CSEVZAJJXXX – which one to use?

The structure of every SWIFT code never changes: four characters for the institution, two for the country and two for the location, sometimes followed by a branch code. That gives you CSEVZAJJ.

XXX at the end of CSEVZAJJXXX is not a placeholder or an error: it indicates the head office of Computershare Proprietary Limited. Certain payment forms insist on 11 characters, and then you simply add XXX behind CSEVZAJJ.

Do not add spaces when you type CSEVZAJJ. Copying the code beats typing it by hand.
