Dakson Merchant LTD SWIFT/BIC code

SWIFT/BIC code of Dakson Merchant LTD

The short code DAEEGB21 and the full code DAEEGB21XXX refer to one and the same institution: Dakson Merchant LTD, with its head office in London. A SWIFT code shows the sending bank which institution is meant to get the money. It comes up mainly for transfers between countries and payments in foreign currencies.

Further down we go through the practical side: receiving money at Dakson Merchant LTD, sending money abroad and how to check a SWIFT code before you hit send. Remember that the SWIFT code just identifies the bank, not the person: the account number or IBAN does that part.

Verifying the SWIFT code of Dakson Merchant LTD

Have the recipient copy the bank details directly from their banking app. If the code you have does not match DAEEGB21 or DAEEGB21XXX, stop and ask.

Errors in the BIC tend to be annoying more than fatal. Remember the IBAN: a mistake there is more difficult to undo than a wrong code.

Many banking apps check the structure of an IBAN and sometimes look up the BIC automatically. Where available, a name check before sending adds extra certainty. A small test payment is worth it for large sums despite the extra fee.

Changed bank details? Be careful

One of the most common tricks works like this: you receive a request saying that a contact has new bank details and asking you to pay there from now on. A real SWIFT code tells you nothing about whether the request is genuine – scammers simply use real codes.

Check changed bank details through a different channel, such as a phone number you already know, never via the email that asked for the change. Pressure and secrecy tend to be red flags – a real supplier can wait a day. If money was sent to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately: the sooner they act, the better the chance of a recall.

Scams also target the receiver. Someone sends more than agreed and asks you to refund the extra to a new account. Do not act before the money has really arrived.

Paying someone abroad from your Dakson Merchant LTD account

What you pay for a payment abroad is made up of several parts. You pay the transfer fee, possibly fees charged by intermediary banks in between and, most importantly, the margin on the exchange rate when the money is converted.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate: the bank converts using an exchange rate that includes a margin. An easy check: set the rate you get next to the mid-market rate for the same moment and look at the difference.

Specialist money transfer services often use rates closer to the mid-market rate and lower fees. Next time you send money, take a minute comparing what arrives on GoldexPay rather than accepting the bank’s rate by default. Using a transfer service does not mean closing your account at Dakson Merchant LTD.

8 or 11 characters: DAEEGB21 versus DAEEGB21XXX

Each SWIFT/BIC code starts with the same eight core characters: a four-letter bank code, two letters for the country and a two-character location code. Combined, these eight characters make up DAEEGB21, the code most people search for.

The full version adds three more characters for a branch or department. When those three characters are XXX, the code points to the head office, so DAEEGB21XXX and DAEEGB21 are interchangeable.

Enter the code in one piece, in capitals and without spaces. Pasting the code beats retyping it: a typo can point to another bank.

Tracking a transfer to or from Dakson Merchant LTD

A SWIFT payment usually takes one to a few business days. Payments made late in the day or just before a weekend or public holiday often go out the next business day. Compliance checks by one of the banks can also add a delay, even when all details are correct.

If the money seems late, contact your bank for the tracking status or the UETR so they can trace it along the chain. Money transfer services usually show a status online showing where the payment is.

A delayed transfer is investigated by the sending bank. As a recipient, it helps to check your statements to see a partial amount, since fees may have been deducted.

A note on our data

We gather bank codes using publicly available data and update our list from time to time. Even so, banks merge, rename themselves or change codes, so information can be out of date. The number of codes we show are based on our own data and not on information from Dakson Merchant LTD itself.

Use our data as a reference, rather than as the final word: the recipient’s bank details come first. GoldexPay has no connection to Dakson Merchant LTD. If you notice a mistake, we appreciate a message via the contact page.

Do you need DAEEGB21 for a SEPA transfer?

Inside SEPA, euro payments to Dakson Merchant LTD follow the same rules and in most cases need only the IBAN. A field for the BIC is often optional for those payments.

For anything other than euros and for senders outside SEPA, DAEEGB21XXX or DAEEGB21 remains required. If a payment form has a field for the BIC regardless, adding DAEEGB21 does no harm.

Euro payments within SEPA usually arrive by the next business day, and instant transfers in seconds where both banks support them. As long as no currency is converted, the transfer tends to be inexpensive; it is the conversion that costs money.

Sending GBP to Dakson Merchant LTD

Accounts at Dakson Merchant LTD are typically held in GBP, the local currency of United Kingdom. A payment in a foreign currency is converted into GBP. Every conversion costs something.

Where the conversion happens has an effect on how much arrives. Often it is cheaper to send GBP directly through a provider with a good rate, so that the receiving bank does not need to convert again.

The rate for GBP 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.

What to give a sender who pays you at Dakson Merchant LTD

To receive a transfer from abroad at Dakson Merchant LTD, the person paying you needs not just the BIC. The basics are: your name, account number or IBAN, DAEEGB21XXX or DAEEGB21 and, for some countries, your postal address.

Some sending banks want the name and address of Dakson Merchant LTD, so keep it at hand. Double-check each detail before you share them – a sender rarely spots a mistake in someone else’s details.

Money from abroad does not always land for the full amount. Fees for incoming transfers vary from bank to bank – the price list of Dakson Merchant LTD tells you what applies. For business payments, you can state how the fees are split to avoid a shortfall.
