Banks worldwide use BIC codes to route international transfers to the right bank. In daily life you mostly see the code on international invoices, in payment forms and in the bank details of Sociedad de Gestion de Los Sistemas de Registro, Compensacion y Liquidacion de Valores, S.A. (Iberclear) customers.

On this page you can read how the code is put together, when it matters and what else you need for a transfer to or from Sociedad de Gestion de Los Sistemas de Registro, Compensacion y Liquidacion de Valores, S.A. (Iberclear). The SWIFT code alone does not identify a personal account; for that you need the account number or IBAN .

Paying into Sociedad de Gestion de Los Sistemas de Registro, Compensacion y Liquidacion de Valores, S.A. (Iberclear) in EUR

Spain pays in the Euro (EUR). When you pay another currency, the amount gets converted at some point – by your bank, by Sociedad de Gestion de Los Sistemas de Registro, Compensacion y Liquidacion de Valores, S.A. (Iberclear) or by a bank in between. There is rarely a separate charge for that conversion.

Which bank converts the payment matters, because each party uses its own rate. In many cases it is cheaper to send EUR straight away via a transfer service with a good rate.

The rate for EUR fluctuates throughout the day, so the amount you see is usually only valid for a short time. On larger amounts, even small gap in the rate can be worth more than the fee.

Verifying the SWIFT code of Sociedad de Gestion de Los Sistemas de Registro, Compensacion y Liquidacion de Valores, S.A. (Iberclear)

The best place to find the right code is a document from the bank itself. Check that code with IBRCESMM here and ask if anything does not match.

Mistakes in the SWIFT code tend to be annoying more than disastrous – usually the money comes back, minus fees and time lost. Remember the account number: an error there is harder to correct than a wrong BIC.

An automatic check by your bank merely tells you that the code is valid, not that it is the right account. More and more banks check the payee name against the account before you confirm; take any warning seriously. Sending a small amount first can be worth it for a large first payment, even if it costs an extra fee.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

Criminals often use payment requests containing changed bank details sent from what looks like a familiar address. A real SWIFT code tells you nothing about who owns the account.

Do not trust contact details from the same email that contains the change. Urgency or requests to keep it quiet are warning signs – a real supplier can wait a day. When a payment has already gone to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately – speed improves the chance of getting it back.

Recipients can be targeted as well: one known trick is a buyer who pays too much and then sends a request to send back the difference abroad. A payment confirmation from the sender proves nothing.

Tracking a transfer to or from Sociedad de Gestion de Los Sistemas de Registro, Compensacion y Liquidacion de Valores, S.A. (Iberclear)

There is no single delivery time for international payments: some arrive within a day. Transfers sent after the cut-off time or on weekends and holidays usually go out the next business day. Extra checks on larger or unusual payments can also cause some delay, regardless of the details.

If a transfer seems late, contact your bank about the tracking status and the transaction reference; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Specialist transfer services usually provide a status in their app showing where the money has got.

The bank that sent the money can request a trace or a recall. On the receiving end, it helps to look at your statements for a partial amount.

IBRCESMM or IBRCESMMXXX – which one to use?

A BIC 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 mark the location. In this case, the 8-character core is IBRCESMM.

Most payment forms work with either length. If a form requires eleven characters, enter IBRCESMMXXX, otherwise IBRCESMM is fine.

As a rule the code is written in capitals and without spaces. A wrong letter can send a payment to another bank.
