Protect yourself against fake payment requests

One of the most common tricks goes like this: you receive a request saying that a contact now has new bank details. A real SWIFT code says nothing about whether the request is genuine: scammers use real codes of real banks.

Before paying, verify a change of bank details through a phone call, using a number you already had. Watch out for time pressure, odd spelling or an email address that differs by one letter. When a payment was sent to a fraudster, call your bank right away – speed improves the chance of getting it back.

Scams also target the receiver: someone sends too much and asks you to refund the difference to a new account. A screenshot of a transfer proves nothing.

The Euro and what conversion costs you

The local currency in Spain is the Euro (EUR). When you pay another currency has to be converted somewhere along the way: by your bank, an intermediary or Caixa de Credit Dels. Enginyers-Caja de Credito de Los Ingenieros Soc. Coop. de Credito itself. You rarely see a separate charge for that conversion; it is built into the rate.

Who does the conversion affects how much arrives, since every bank sets its own rate. In many cases it is cheaper if you send EUR straight away through a transfer service that converts near the mid-market rate, so that the receiving bank does not need to convert again.

Rates for EUR change during the day. If you pay regularly, a slightly better rate make a real difference over a year.

How long does an international transfer to Caixa de Credit Dels. Enginyers-Caja de Credito de Los Ingenieros Soc. Coop. de Credito take?

A SWIFT payment 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 add a day or more, since banks do not process on those days. Occasionally a bank asks about the purpose of a payment before releasing it.

If the money is delayed, ask your bank about the tracking status or the UETR. Money transfer services often show tracking in their app showing how far the money has got.

If the money does not arrive after a few business days, the person who paid should start with their own bank. As a recipient, you can check your statements to see a partial amount, since fees may have been deducted.
