Falcon Private Bank LTD. SWIFT/BIC code

Falcon Private Bank LTD. SWIFT code: UEBECHZZ

The short code UEBECHZZ and the 11-character code UEBECHZZXXX refer to the same bank: Falcon Private Bank LTD.. A SWIFT code shows the sending bank which institution should receive the money, much like a postcode for banks. It comes up mainly for payments that cross a border.

We wrote this page to help people who receives money at an account at Falcon Private Bank LTD.. The SWIFT code alone does not identify a personal account; that is what the account number or IBAN .

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Falcon Private Bank LTD.

How quickly a payment arrives at Falcon Private Bank LTD. depends on a few things: which currency you send, the number of banks in between, daily processing deadlines and time zones. Bank holidays in the sending or receiving country can add a day or more, since banks do not process on those days. Sometimes a bank asks about the purpose of a payment, which can hold things up.

When a payment takes longer than expected, ask the sending bank for the tracking status. Money transfer services usually provide tracking in their app so you can see where the payment is.

A delayed transfer has to be traced from the sending side. On the receiving end, it helps to check your account to see a partial amount.

Why Falcon Private Bank LTD. has an 8- and an 11-character code

The structure of a BIC never changes: a bank code of four letters, two for the country and two for the location, plus an optional branch code. Together, these eight characters make up UEBECHZZ – the version you usually see online.

XXX at the end of UEBECHZZXXX does not stand for a placeholder or a mistake: it indicates the head office of Falcon Private Bank LTD.. Some forms insist on 11 characters, in which case you simply add XXX behind UEBECHZZ.

Type the code as one block, in capitals and without separators, exactly as shown here. Look out for the letter O and the digit 0 and the letter I and the digit 1, a common source of typos.

Changed bank details? Be careful

Be alert if someone suddenly wants you to send money to another account abroad. A correct SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account – scammers simply use real codes.

Verify changed payment details through a different channel, never via the email that asked for the change. Be suspicious of urgent requests, unusual wording or an email address that differs by one letter. Already paid? Call your bank straight away and ask them to start a recall and report the fraud.

People receiving money can be targeted as well: a classic trick is a buyer who pays too much and then sends a request to refund the difference. Do not act before the money has really arrived – ask Falcon Private Bank LTD. if something looks wrong.

What a transfer from Falcon Private Bank LTD. abroad really costs

If you transfer money abroad through Falcon Private Bank LTD., the fee you see is only part of what you pay. On top of a fixed fee, correspondent or intermediary banks may take a cut, and if the money changes currency, the bank usually uses a rate that is less favourable than the actual market rate.

Many banks do not show their exchange rate markup as a cost, but you pay it all the same. Check the rate you are offered against the mid-market rate – the rate you find on financial news sites; the gap is what conversion costs you.

For many routes, a transfer service is less expensive than a bank. GoldexPay compares what recipients receive across providers, so you can pick the cheapest route. You can still keep your account at Falcon Private Bank LTD. to fund the transfer, while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

What to give a sender who pays you at Falcon Private Bank LTD.

To receive an international payment into your account at Falcon Private Bank LTD., the person paying you needs more than the SWIFT code. That means: your full name as registered with Falcon Private Bank LTD., your account number or IBAN, the BIC UEBECHZZXXX (or UEBECHZZ) and, often, your address.

Some sending banks also ask for the address of Falcon Private Bank LTD.. Check the details before you send them – a sender rarely spots a mistake in someone else’s details.

Do not be surprised if the amount credited is below what the sender paid. Intermediary banks may deduct a fee, and when currencies differ, a markup on the rate comes on top. Agree with the sender who covers the fees, especially for larger amounts.

The Swiss Franc and what conversion costs you

The currency of Switzerland is the Swiss Franc (CHF). When you pay another currency it gets converted somewhere along the way. Every conversion eats into the amount – usually through the rate rather than a fee.

Who converts the payment matters. In many cases it is cheaper to send CHF straight away via a provider with a good rate.

The rate for CHF fluctuates throughout the day and quotes are often valid only for a short time. If you pay regularly, small differences in the rate make a real difference over a year.

Where our SWIFT data comes from

The directory on GoldexPay draws on publicly available sources and we update it periodically. Institutions reorganise, close branches and retire codes – a directory can be a step behind. The number of codes on this page are based on our own data, not official figures from Falcon Private Bank LTD..

For a payment of any size, confirm the BIC with Falcon Private Bank LTD. or the recipient. GoldexPay has no connection to Falcon Private Bank LTD., we only compare transfer services. Spotted an error? Tell us through the contact page so we can correct it.

Which of the 2 codes of Falcon Private Bank LTD. do you need?

Our database contains 2 SWIFT/BIC codes for Falcon Private Bank LTD., spread over 2 locations. Besides the head office code UEBECHZZXXX, you will find codes for individual branches and departments.

Unless the recipient tells you otherwise, use UEBECHZZXXX or its short form UEBECHZZ. If you have been given a specific code, stick to it instead of swapping it with the head office code.

Unsure which code applies? Ask the recipient or the bank itself. Branch codes can change over time.

Is UEBECHZZ still correct? How to check

The best place to find the right code remains paperwork issued by the bank. Compare that code with UEBECHZZ on this page; if they differ, ask before you pay.

An incorrect BIC can cause delays, a returned payment or additional charges for investigation. A mistake in the account number is a bigger problem because it can reach the wrong person; check it just as carefully.

Many banking apps validate the format of IBANs. Where available, a name check on the recipient adds extra certainty. Sending a small amount first can be a sensible step for large sums, even if it costs an extra fee.

Euro transfers to Falcon Private Bank LTD.: is a BIC needed?

Because Switzerland is part of the SEPA zone, a euro payment into Falcon Private Bank LTD. from another SEPA country usually only needs the IBAN. Most banking apps no longer ask for the BIC in that case or fill it in for you.

Outside the euro and for senders outside SEPA, UEBECHZZXXX is still required. Some forms also show a field for the BIC; if so, enter UEBECHZZ.

Instant payments in euros are widely supported across SEPA – whether Falcon Private Bank LTD. offers them for your account is worth checking. Fees for SEPA transfers are generally low, as long as no currency conversion is involved.
