Eclectica Asset Management Llp SWIFT/BIC code

EAMPGB21 – the SWIFT/BIC code of Eclectica Asset Management Llp

EAMPGB21 and EAMPGB21XXX are two spellings of the same bank identifier, and both point to Eclectica Asset Management Llp in London.

This page is meant to help anyone who sends money to an account at Eclectica Asset Management Llp and wants to get the details right. Remember that the SWIFT code just identifies the bank, not the person: the account number or IBAN does that part.

A note on our data

The codes on this page are taken from publicly available data. Still, banks merge or change codes. Counts and locations are from our own dataset and are not confirmed by Eclectica Asset Management Llp.

Treat our data as a starting point, rather than as the final word – the bank details from the recipient are leading. GoldexPay is an independent comparison site for money transfers and not affiliated with Eclectica Asset Management Llp. If you notice something that is out of date, we welcome a short note via the contact page.

British Pound (GBP) and conversion costs

United Kingdom pays in the British Pound, code GBP. When you pay another currency gets converted somewhere along the way. There is rarely a separate line for that conversion – the cost sits in the rate.

Who converts the payment makes a difference: every bank has its own margin. Compare how much GBP arrives via several providers before choosing one.

Rates for GBP move during the day. With bigger transfers, even small difference in the rate can be worth more than the fee.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

Be wary when a contact unexpectedly wants you to pay into another account. A valid SWIFT code says nothing about who owns the account – scammers simply use real codes.

Verify changed payment details via a separate channel, not by replying to the message. Urgency and requests to keep it quiet tend to be red flags. Already paid? Contact your bank straight away and ask them to try to recall the payment; also report it to the police.

Recipients can be targeted as well: one known trick is a buyer who pays too much and then sends a request to send back the difference abroad. A screenshot of a transfer is no proof; only your own account shows what has arrived.

Euro transfers to Eclectica Asset Management Llp: is a BIC needed?

Because United Kingdom is in SEPA, a euro payment into Eclectica Asset Management Llp from within the SEPA area normally only needs the IBAN. Most banking apps no longer ask for the BIC for these payments or fill it in for you.

The BIC does matter when the currency is not euros and when the money comes from outside SEPA. If your banking app asks for the BIC regardless, adding EAMPGB21 does no harm.

Euro payments within SEPA normally land by the next business day; instant payments are faster if both banks offer them. Fees for SEPA payments are generally low, as long as no currency conversion is involved.

Which of the 2 codes of Eclectica Asset Management Llp do you need?

We have 2 SWIFT/BIC codes for Eclectica Asset Management Llp. Besides the head office code EAMPGB21XXX, there are codes for regional offices and specialised units.

Usually there is no need to pick a branch: payments sent to EAMPGB21XXX reach Eclectica Asset Management Llp correctly. Only use a branch code when the account holder explicitly asks for it.

If you are not sure, ask the person you are paying which code their bank gave them. Branch codes are more likely to change than the head office code when a bank merges or closes offices.

Verifying the SWIFT code of Eclectica Asset Management Llp

The safest source for a SWIFT code is the bank details provided by the recipient. Compare that code against EAMPGB21 here and ask if anything does not match.

Mistakes in the BIC are annoying more than fatal: often the payment comes back, minus fees. Do not forget the account number: an error there is harder to correct than a wrong code.

A format check by your bank merely confirms that the code is valid. Where available, a name check on the recipient adds extra certainty. When you pay someone new, many people start with a small test amount.

8 or 11 characters: EAMPGB21 versus EAMPGB21XXX

A SWIFT code is made up of a few fixed parts: the first four letters identify the bank, the next two show the country and characters seven and eight mark the location. In this case, the 8-character core is EAMPGB21.

The full version adds three more characters that identify a branch or department. When those three characters are XXX, the code points to the head office, which is why EAMPGB21XXX and EAMPGB21 lead to the same place.

Type the code in one piece, in upper case and without spaces, exactly as shown here. A wrong letter can send a payment to a different institution, so copy it carefully.

When will the money arrive at Eclectica Asset Management Llp?

How quickly a transfer arrives at Eclectica Asset Management Llp is determined by a few things: which currency you send, the number of banks in between, daily processing deadlines and differences in time zone. Payments made late in the day or on a weekend or public holiday usually start the next business day. Compliance checks by one of the banks may also cause some delay, regardless of the details.

Many banks use SWIFT gpi for faster and traceable payments. Each gpi transfer carries a unique reference, the UETR, which your bank can use to see where the money is. Specialist transfer services usually show a status online showing where the money is.

Only the sending bank is able to request a trace – the recipient’s bank often cannot see a payment that has not arrived. Request from the sender the payment receipt including the reference – it helps your own bank look for the money.

Paying someone abroad from your Eclectica Asset Management Llp account

An international bank payment costs more than the fee suggests. There is the transfer fee, possibly charges from correspondent banks along the way and, above all, the margin on the exchange rate if the currency changes.

That exchange rate margin tends to be the largest item, and it is easy to miss. Check their rate against the mid-market rate – the rate you find on financial news sites; the gap is what conversion costs you.

Money transfer services often offer a rate near the mid-market rate and lower fees. On GoldexPay you can compare the amount that arrives across services, which makes the cheapest option easy to spot. Choosing a specialist does not mean leaving Eclectica Asset Management Llp.

Getting paid from abroad into a Eclectica Asset Management Llp account

Someone abroad who wants to pay you needs a few details from you, and missing ones are a common cause of delays. The basics are: the account holder’s name, IBAN or account number, EAMPGB21XXX and in many cases your home address.

The sender’s bank may request the address of your bank, in which case the London head office is the usual answer. A typo in the IBAN can be harder to fix than it looks.

The amount you receive can be lower than what was sent. Correspondent banks can take a fee, Eclectica Asset Management Llp may charge for incoming payments, and if the currency changes, an exchange rate margin comes on top. Agree with the sender who covers the fees, especially for larger amounts.
