Autonomous Research Llp SWIFT/BIC code

SWIFT/BIC code of Autonomous Research Llp

The 8-character code AUAUGB21 and the 11-character code AUAUGB21XXX refer to the same bank: Autonomous Research Llp, with its head office in London. A SWIFT code tells every bank in the chain which institution is meant to get the money, a bit like a postal address for banks. You will need it mainly when dealing with transfers between countries.

We wrote this page to help anyone who sends money to an account at Autonomous Research Llp. Keep in mind that the BIC just identifies the bank, not the account: the account number or IBAN takes care of that.

Choosing between the 2 SWIFT codes of Autonomous Research Llp

Our database contains 2 SWIFT/BIC codes for Autonomous Research Llp in 1 places. Next to the head office code AUAUGB21XXX, there are codes for individual branches and departments.

Unless the recipient tells you otherwise, use AUAUGB21XXX. When you receive a specific code, use it as it is rather than swapping it with the head office code.

The safest approach is to take the code straight from the account holder’s statement. Codes for branches are more likely to be retired than AUAUGB21XXX.

How up to date is this code?

The details on this page are taken from publicly available data that we update regularly. Institutions reorganise, change names and change codes – a directory can be a step behind. Figures such as the number of codes are from our directory.

What the XXX in AUAUGB21XXX means

A SWIFT code is built from fixed blocks: characters one to four stand for the bank, characters five and six give the country and characters seven and eight mark the location. The result is AUAUGB21, the short form of the code.

The 11-character version has a three-character extension that identify a branch or department. If the last three are XXX, the code points to the head office.

Do not add spaces when you type AUAUGB21 or AUAUGB21XXX. Pasting the code beats retyping it: a typo can point to another bank.

Changed bank details? Be careful

One of the most common tricks goes like this: an email arrives with a message saying that a company has new bank details and asking you to pay there from now on. A correct SWIFT code tells you nothing about whether the request is genuine: scammers use real codes of real banks.

Never rely on a phone number in the same message that contains the change. Urgency and secrecy tend to be warning signs. Acted too fast? Contact your bank straight away and ask them to start a recall.

Scams can also work the other way. Someone claims to have sent more than agreed and asks you to refund the extra via a different route. A payment confirmation from the sender proves nothing.

When will the money arrive at Autonomous Research Llp?

How quickly a payment reaches Autonomous Research Llp depends on several factors: the currency, how many intermediary banks are involved, daily processing deadlines and differences in time zone. Bank holidays in the sending or receiving country can add a day or more. Extra checks on larger or unusual payments may also add some delay, even when all details are correct.

When a payment takes longer than expected, contact the sending bank about the status. Money transfer services usually provide tracking online so you can see how far the payment has got.

Only the sending bank can request a trace or a recall; the receiving side usually has nothing to trace yet. Request from the sender a copy of the payment confirmation; that often settles the question quickly.

Euro transfers to Autonomous Research Llp: is a BIC needed?

Inside SEPA, euro transfers to an account in United Kingdom use common rules. A field for the BIC is often optional in that case.

A SWIFT code like AUAUGB21 does come into play when the currency is not euros, and for transfers from outside SEPA. Some forms also show a field for the BIC; in that case, enter AUAUGB21 or AUAUGB21XXX.

Euro payments within SEPA usually arrive within one business day. Charges on SEPA transfers are generally low as long as everything stays in euros.

British Pound (GBP) and conversion costs

Most accounts at Autonomous Research Llp are typically held in GBP, the local currency of United Kingdom. Money sent in a different currency will be converted into GBP. You rarely see a separate charge for that conversion.

Where the conversion happens has an effect on how much arrives. Check what GBP arrives via several providers before choosing one.

Rates for GBP change during the day, and some providers let you lock in a rate. On larger amounts, even seemingly small difference in the rate adds up quickly.

Getting paid from abroad into a Autonomous Research Llp account

When you expect money from abroad, send the payer everything they need in one go. Give them your name as the bank knows it, your account number or IBAN, the BIC AUAUGB21XXX and your address, which some banks require.

Their bank might also ask for the address of your bank. Double-check each detail before you send them – a sender rarely spots a mistake in someone else’s details.

An incoming payment does not always land in full. Charges on incoming payments differ per bank – the price list of Autonomous Research Llp tells you what applies. For business payments, it is common to state who bears the costs to avoid a shortfall.

Paying someone abroad from your Autonomous Research Llp account

The price of an international transfer has several parts – not just the fee on your screen. Besides a fixed fee, banks in between can deduct a fee, and if currencies are converted, the bank usually applies a rate below the actual market rate.

Many banks do not show their exchange rate markup separately, but you pay it all the same. Check the rate you are offered with the mid-market rate, the midpoint between buy and sell rates you see on financial sites; the gap is what conversion costs you.

Specialised transfer providers often use rates closer to the mid-market rate and lower fees. Before your next transfer, it is worth comparing the total cost via GoldexPay instead of going straight to your bank. Using a transfer service does not mean closing your account at Autonomous Research Llp – you pay the provider from your own account.

Is AUAUGB21 still correct? How to check

The most reliable place for the right code remains a document from the bank itself, such as a statement or the account details in online banking. If the code you have does not match AUAUGB21 or AUAUGB21XXX, do not guess.

With a wrong code, the payment might be delayed, be returned or cost extra. Do not forget the account number: an error there is harder to correct than a wrong BIC.

An automatic check by your bank merely confirms that the IBAN is valid – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. More and more banks check the name with the account – do not ignore a mismatch warning. For a first payment, some people send a small amount first before sending the rest.
