Masterlink Securities Co., LTD. SWIFT/BIC code

SWIFT/BIC code of Masterlink Securities Co., LTD.

Whether a recipient gives you MASCTWT1 or MASCTWT1XXX, it is the identical address for Masterlink Securities Co., LTD. in Taiwan. A SWIFT code tells every bank in the chain exactly which bank should receive the money, much like a postcode for banks. In daily life you usually come across it on international invoices, in your banking app and on the account details of Masterlink Securities Co., LTD. customers.

This page is meant to help people who pays into an account at Masterlink Securities Co., LTD. and wants to get the details right. The SWIFT code on its own cannot identify a personal account; for that you need the account number or IBAN .

Which of the 2 codes of Masterlink Securities Co., LTD. do you need?

Masterlink Securities Co., LTD. has 2 different SWIFT/BIC codes. Only one is the head office code, MASCTWT1XXX; the others belong to branches or departments, and sometimes internal departments.

For most payments to a private or business account, the head office code MASCTWT1XXX works fine. A branch code only makes sense when the recipient’s bank explicitly mentions it, which is more common for corporate accounts and specialised services.

Not sure which code applies? Ask the recipient. Branch codes can change when banks reorganise, so do not rely on old paperwork.

What a transfer from Masterlink Securities Co., LTD. abroad really costs

What you pay for a payment abroad is made up of more than one component – not just the fee on your screen. Besides the transfer fee, banks in between can deduct a fee, and when the money changes currency, the bank usually applies a rate below the actual market rate.

Many banks do not show their exchange rate markup as a cost – you only notice it if you compare. Compare the rate you are offered against the mid-market rate.

For a lot of currency pairs, a transfer service is less expensive than a traditional bank transfer, mainly because of the exchange rate. Before your next transfer, take a minute to compare what arrives on GoldexPay instead of going straight to your bank. You can always keep your account at Masterlink Securities Co., LTD. as the source of the money, while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

When will the money arrive at Masterlink Securities Co., LTD.?

How fast a payment reaches Masterlink Securities Co., LTD. depends on a few things: which currency you send, how many intermediary banks are involved, 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 what the payment is for before releasing it.

When a payment takes longer than expected, contact your bank about the 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 so you can see where the money is.

A missing payment is investigated by the sending bank, using the payment confirmation. Request from the sender the payment receipt including the reference; that often settles the question quickly.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

A common scam works like this: an email arrives with a request saying that a contact has a new bank account. The fact that MASCTWT1 exists is no guarantee that a request mentioning it is legitimate; criminals use the codes of real banks too.

Always verify changed bank details by phone, using a number you already had. Pressure or secrecy tend to be warning signs – a real supplier can wait a day. If a payment was sent to the wrong account, call your bank right away – speed improves the chance of getting it back.

Fraud also target the receiver: someone sends too much and wants you to return the difference to a new account. Do not act before the money has really arrived – ask Masterlink Securities Co., LTD. if something looks wrong.

About this information

Incoming international payments to Masterlink Securities Co., LTD.

If you expect a payment from another country, give the sender a complete set of details. In practice that means: your name as registered with Masterlink Securities Co., LTD., your account number or IBAN, the BIC MASCTWT1XXX and sometimes your address.

Some sending banks want the name and address of Masterlink Securities Co., LTD. in Taipei; it does no harm to include it. Double-check the details before you send them – a sender rarely spots a mistake in someone else’s details.

Do not be surprised if the incoming amount is smaller than what the sender paid. Charges on incoming payments vary per bank; check the price list of Masterlink Securities Co., LTD.. Make clear with the sender who pays which costs before the money is sent.

Is MASCTWT1 still correct? How to check

Have the recipient send you their bank details straight from a recent statement. Compare that code with MASCTWT1 on this page and ask if anything does not match.

If the code is wrong, the transfer may be delayed, be returned or cost extra. A mistake in the account number is more serious, because the money may be credited to someone else, so check that just as carefully.

An automatic check by your bank only tells you that the code is valid – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. Where available, a name check on the recipient adds extra certainty. Sending a small amount first is a sensible step for a large first payment.

8 or 11 characters: MASCTWT1 versus MASCTWT1XXX

A SWIFT code is built from fixed blocks: the first four letters stand for the bank, the next two show the country and the two after that indicate the location. Together, those parts form MASCTWT1 – the version you usually see online.

The 11-character version has a three-character extension that identify a branch or department. If the last three are XXX, they simply mean the head office, which is why MASCTWT1XXX and MASCTWT1 lead to the same place.

Type the code in one piece, in capitals and without separators. A wrong letter can send the money to another bank, so check it twice.
