SWIFT/BIC code of Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos

Whether a recipient gives you TESOESM1 or TESOESM1XXX, you are looking at the identical identifier for Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos in Spain. A SWIFT code tells the sending bank exactly which bank should receive the money. It comes up mostly for transfers between countries and payments in foreign currencies.

We wrote this page to help anyone who receives money at an account at Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos without mistakes. Keep in mind that the BIC only identifies the bank, not the account: the IBAN or account number does that part.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos

How fast a transfer reaches Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos is determined by a few things: which currency you send, how many intermediary banks are involved, daily processing deadlines and time zones. Transfers sent after the cut-off time or just before weekends and holidays usually go out a business day later. Compliance checks by one of the banks may also cause a delay, regardless of the details.

If a transfer is delayed, ask your bank for the status; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Money transfer services usually provide a status in their app showing how far the money is.

The bank that sent the money is able to start an official trace or a recall – the recipient’s bank often cannot see a payment that has not arrived. Ask the sender for a copy of the payment confirmation with the date and reference.

Head office or branch code at Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos?

Our directory lists 2 SWIFT/BIC codes for Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos. Besides the head office code TESOESM1XXX, there are codes for individual branches and departments.

In most cases you do not need to pick a branch: transfers sent to TESOESM1XXX are routed within Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos without problems. A branch code only makes sense if the recipient’s bank explicitly mentions it, which is more common for business accounts and specialised services.

If you are not sure, ask the person you are paying which code their bank gave them. Codes can change over time.

Paying Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos in euros within SEPA

Within the SEPA zone, euro transfers to an account in Spain use the same rules. A field for the BIC is often optional for those payments.

You still need TESOESM1XXX for payments in other currencies or money from outside the SEPA area. A few forms still ask for the BIC; if so, fill in TESOESM1.

SEPA transfers usually arrive by the next business day, and instant transfers in seconds where both banks support them. Fees for SEPA transfers tend to be low as long as everything stays in euros.

TESOESM1 or TESOESM1XXX – which one to use?

A BIC is made up of a few fixed parts: the first four letters identify the bank, characters five and six give the country and characters seven and eight indicate the location. Combined, these eight characters form TESOESM1, the code most people search for.

XXX at the end of TESOESM1XXX does not stand for a missing value or an error: it stands for the main office of Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos. Some forms insist on 11 characters, and then you can add XXX after TESOESM1.

As a rule the code is typed in capitals, without spaces or dashes. Copying the code beats retyping it: a typo can point to another bank.

International transfers from Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos: the real cost

What you pay for a payment abroad has more than one component. There is the fee for the transfer itself, possibly charges from correspondent banks in between and, above all, the exchange rate markup when the money is converted.

That exchange rate margin is often the biggest item even though it is not listed as a fee. Check their rate with the mid-market rate.

Specialist money transfer services often offer rates closer to the mid-market rate. On GoldexPay we compare what recipients receive with different providers, which makes the cheapest option easy to spot. You can always keep your account at Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos, while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

Receiving money from abroad at Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos

Someone abroad who wants to pay you needs several details about your account, and missing ones are a common cause of delays. What they need is: your name, IBAN or account number, TESOESM1XXX and, for some countries, your postal address.

The sender’s bank might request the address of your bank; the head office in Madrid is usually fine. A mistake in your account number can be more trouble than it looks.

An incoming payment will not always land for the full amount. Charges on incoming payments vary from bank to bank. Agree with the sender who pays which costs, especially for larger amounts.

A note on our data

The details here come from publicly available data. It is possible that information on this page is out of date. Counts and locations come from our directory.

Use this page as a starting point, not as the final word: the recipient’s bank details come first. GoldexPay is an independent comparison site for money transfers and not affiliated with Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos. Should you notice something that is out of date, we appreciate a message.

Sending EUR to Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos

The local currency of Spain is the Euro (EUR). Money sent in a different currency is exchanged into EUR, and whoever converts it chooses the rate. There is rarely a separate line for the conversion; it is built into the rate.

Who converts the money makes a difference, because each party uses its own rate. Check what EUR arrives via different services before choosing one.

The rate for EUR changes throughout the day, so the amount you see is usually only valid for a short time. If you pay regularly, small differences in the rate make a real difference over time.

Watch out for payment fraud

Scammers regularly send fake invoices with new bank details. A correct SWIFT code says nothing about whether the request is genuine.

Do not trust contact details in the same message that announces the new account. Be suspicious of time pressure, odd spelling or a sender address that is slightly off. Acted too fast? Contact the bank you paid from without delay and have them start a recall; also report it to the police.

Fraud can also target the receiver: someone claims to have sent more than agreed and asks you to refund the extra. A payment confirmation from the sender is no proof – check your own account.

Verifying the SWIFT code of Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos

The safest source for a SWIFT code is the bank details provided by the recipient. If the code you have does not match TESOESM1 or TESOESM1XXX, stop and ask – contact the recipient or Tesoro Publico Traspaso de Depositos.

With a wrong code, the transfer may be delayed, be returned or end up costing more. A mistake in the IBAN or account number is a bigger problem, because the money may be credited to someone else, so check that just as carefully.

Many banking apps check the format of IBANs, but that does not prove the account belongs to the right person. More and more banks check the name against the account before you confirm; take any warning seriously. For a first payment, many people send a small amount first.
