Sending GBP to Eton Park International Llp

The local currency of United Kingdom is the British Pound (GBP). When you pay another currency, the amount has to be converted somewhere along the way – by your bank, by Eton Park International Llp or by a bank in between. Every conversion costs something, even when no fee is shown.

Who does the conversion affects the final amount, since every bank sets its own rate. Often it is cheaper to send GBP straight away via a provider that converts near the mid-market rate.

The rate for GBP fluctuates constantly. For regular payments, small differences in the rate add up over time.

A note on our data

We gather SWIFT/BIC codes from public sources and check our list regularly. Even so, banks merge, rename themselves or retire codes. Figures such as the number of codes are from our own dataset.

See the information on this page as a helpful check, and let the details from the recipient or Eton Park International Llp have the final say. GoldexPay is a comparison service and not affiliated with Eton Park International Llp. Spotted an error? Let us know through the contact page.

8 or 11 characters: EPILGB21 versus EPILGB21XXX

Each SWIFT/BIC code starts with the same eight core characters: a four-letter bank code, two letters for the country and two characters for the location. In this case, that core is EPILGB21.

XXX at the end of EPILGB21XXX is not a placeholder or a mistake: it stands for the head office of Eton Park International Llp. Some banking apps ask for 11 characters, and then you can enter XXX behind EPILGB21.

Type the code in one piece, in capitals and without separators, exactly as shown here. Pasting the code beats retyping it.

SEPA payments and the Eton Park International Llp BIC

United Kingdom is part of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), where euro transfers follow common rules. For a standard euro transfer within SEPA, the IBAN is usually enough.

You will still need EPILGB21XXX for non-euro payments or money from outside the SEPA area. Some forms also ask for the BIC out of habit; if so, enter EPILGB21.

Instant payments in euros have become widely supported within SEPA; check with Eton Park International Llp whether it applies to your account. Provided the payment stays in euros, the transfer is inexpensive; costs rise once a conversion is involved.

Tracking a transfer to or from Eton Park International Llp

There is no fixed delivery time: some land within a day. Weekends and public holidays in the sending or receiving country add extra days. Compliance checks by one of the banks may also cause some delay, even when all details are correct.

A growing number of banks use SWIFT gpi for faster and traceable payments. Each gpi transfer carries a unique transaction reference, the UETR, which your bank can use to see where the money is. Specialist transfer services usually show a status online so you can see where the payment has got.

A missing payment is traced from the sending side. Request from the sender a copy of the payment confirmation including the reference.

What to give a sender who pays you at Eton Park International Llp

To receive an international payment at Eton Park International Llp, the sender has to have not just the SWIFT code. The basics are: the account holder’s name, account number or IBAN, EPILGB21XXX or EPILGB21 and often your home address.

It helps to include Eton Park International Llp and its city as well, because some payment forms have separate fields for them. A mistake in the IBAN is more trouble than you might think.

The amount you receive is often lower than what was sent. Correspondent banks can take a fee, Eton Park International Llp may charge for incoming payments, and if the money is converted, a markup on the rate applies. For business payments, you can agree how the fees are split, so that nobody is left short.

International transfers from Eton Park International Llp: the real cost

An international bank payment can cost more than the listed fee. There is the transfer fee, possibly charges from correspondent banks along the way and, above all, the exchange rate markup if the currency changes.

Many banks rarely list their exchange rate markup as a cost. A simple test: put the bank’s rate against the mid-market rate and work out the difference on your amount.

For a lot of currency pairs, a transfer service is less expensive than a bank – mostly thanks to the rate. GoldexPay lists transfer providers side by side, showing what actually arrives. You can still use your account at Eton Park International Llp to fund the transfer, while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

Which of the 2 codes of Eton Park International Llp do you need?

Eton Park International Llp uses 2 separate SWIFT/BIC codes across 1 locations. One of them is the head office code; the rest identify branches, and sometimes specific services.

For the vast majority of payments to a private or business account, the head office code EPILGB21XXX is what you need. Only use a branch code when the account holder gives you that exact code.

Not sure which code to use? Check with the recipient. Branch codes can change when banks reorganise.

Verifying the SWIFT code of Eton Park International Llp

Have the recipient send you their account details directly from a recent statement. Check that code against EPILGB21 here.

An incorrect BIC may lead to delays, a payment being sent back or extra fees along the way. Do not forget the account number: a mistake there can be harder to correct than a wrong code.

A validity check in your banking app only tells you that the IBAN is valid. If your bank offers it, a name check on the recipient gives extra certainty. When you pay someone new, some people send a small amount first.

Watch out for payment fraud

Be alert when someone suddenly wants you to pay into another account abroad. A real SWIFT code tells you nothing about who owns the account.

Verify changed payment details through a different channel like a call to a number from an earlier contract, not by replying to the message. Pressure or secrecy tend to be warning signs. When money has already gone to the wrong account, call your bank right away: the sooner they act, the better the chance of a recall.

Fraud can also work the other way: someone sends too much and wants you to refund the difference via a different route. Do not act before the money is actually in your account – ask Eton Park International Llp if something looks wrong.
