Scb Securities Co LTD SWIFT/BIC code

SWIFT/BIC code of Scb Securities Co LTD

SSTCTHB1 and SSTCTHB1XXX are the short and the long form of the same bank identifier, and both point to Scb Securities Co LTD in Bangkok. A BIC has a single purpose: it ensures that money from abroad ends up at the right bank. You will need it mainly for payments that cross a border.

On this page you will find what the code is put together, when it matters and which other details you need for a transfer to or from Scb Securities Co LTD. Remember that the BIC just identifies the bank, not the person: the account number or IBAN takes care of that.

What a transfer from Scb Securities Co LTD abroad really costs

The price of a payment abroad is made up of several parts. On top of the transfer fee, banks in between can take a cut, and when currencies are converted, the bank often uses a rate that is less favourable than the actual market rate.

Many banks do not show the margin on the rate as a cost. Check the rate you are offered with the mid-market rate; the gap is what conversion costs you.

Money transfer services often use rates closer to the mid-market rate with clearer fees. GoldexPay compares the amount that arrives across providers, which makes the cheapest option easy to spot. Using a transfer service does not require leaving Scb Securities Co LTD – you pay the provider from your own account.

When will the money arrive at Scb Securities Co LTD?

There is no single answer for international payments: many arrive within a day while others need several business days. Bank holidays in either country add extra days. Extra checks on larger or unusual payments may also add a delay, regardless of the details.

When a payment takes longer than expected, ask your bank for the tracking status; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Keep your transfer receipt – you will need it for any trace request.

If a payment has not arrived within the expected time, the sender needs to contact their own bank rather than Scb Securities Co LTD. Request from the sender the payment receipt – it helps your own bank look for the money.

A note on our data

We gather SWIFT/BIC codes from public sources and check our list regularly. Still, banks merge or change codes and our data may lag behind. Figures such as the number of codes come from our directory.

Treat our data as a reference, rather than as the last word – the bank details from the recipient are leading. GoldexPay is independent of Scb Securities Co LTD; we are a comparison site for money transfers. Found outdated information? Let us know through the contact page.

Thai Baht (THB) and conversion costs

The currency in Thailand is the Thai Baht (THB). If you send another currency has to be converted at some point – by your bank, by Scb Securities Co LTD or by a bank in between. Each conversion eats into something, even when no fee is shown.

Who converts the money matters, because each party uses its own rate. Transferring the money already in THB often prevents a second conversion – as long as your own rate is good.

Exchange rates change all the time. For recurring payments, small differences in the rate make a real difference over a year.

SSTCTHB1 or SSTCTHB1XXX – which one to use?

Every SWIFT/BIC code has an 8-character core: a four-letter bank code, a two-letter country code and a two-character location code. In this case, that core is SSTCTHB1.

The 11-character version adds a three-character extension for a branch or department. When those three characters are XXX, the code points to the head office.

Leave out spaces when you type SSTCTHB1. Watch for O versus 0 and I versus 1, a common source of typos.

Incoming international payments to Scb Securities Co LTD

A sender in another country needs several details about your account – incomplete details often cause delays. The basics are: the account holder’s name, account number or IBAN, SSTCTHB1XXX and often your postal address.

The sender’s bank may also ask for the address of your bank. A mistake in your account number is harder to fix than it looks.

What lands in your account can be lower than the amount sent. Charges on incoming payments differ per bank. Agree with the sender who covers the fees.

Changed bank details? Be careful

Be alert if someone suddenly asks you to send money to another account or a bank in another country. That SSTCTHB1 is a real code does not mean that the account is genuine; criminals use the codes of real banks too.

Check changed bank details through a separate channel like a call to a number from an earlier contract, never via the email that asked for the change. Be suspicious of urgent requests, odd spelling or an email address that differs by one letter. When a payment has already gone to a fraudster, call your bank right away – speed improves the chance of getting it back.

Fraud can also work the other way: someone claims to have sent too much and wants you to return the difference to a new account. Do not act before the money has really arrived – ask Scb Securities Co LTD if something looks wrong.

Choosing between the 2 SWIFT codes of Scb Securities Co LTD

Having 2 codes in 1 cities, Scb Securities Co LTD is one of the banks that register individual codes for parts of the organisation and departments. The head office code is SSTCTHB1XXX.

Unless the recipient tells you otherwise, use SSTCTHB1XXX or its short form SSTCTHB1. Branch codes are only needed when the account holder explicitly mentions it, which is more common for business accounts and trade services.

Unsure which code applies? Ask the recipient. Branch codes are more prone to be retired than the head office code when a bank merges or closes offices.

Before you send: check the Scb Securities Co LTD code

The best place to find the right code is a document from the bank itself like a bank statement or the account page in online banking. Check that code with SSTCTHB1 here.

An incorrect BIC may lead to a delay, a payment being sent back or additional charges. Remember the account number: an error there is harder to correct than a wrong code.

An automatic check in your banking app only confirms that the IBAN is valid – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. More and more banks compare the name against the account before you confirm. A small test payment can be worth it for a large first payment despite the extra fee.
