SWIFT/BIC code of N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited

Whether a recipient gives you ROTHGB2L or ROTHGB2LXXX, you are looking at the identical identifier for N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited in United Kingdom. A SWIFT code tells the sending bank which institution should receive the money, much like a postcode for banks. In daily life you usually see the code on international invoices, in payment forms and on the account details that N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited provides.

We wrote this page to help people who receives money at an account at N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited and wants to get the details right. Remember that the SWIFT code only identifies the bank, not the account: the IBAN or account number takes care of that.

Paying someone abroad from your N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited account

A bank transfer abroad costs more than the fee suggests. Besides the transfer fee, banks in between may deduct a fee, and if the money changes currency, the bank often uses a rate below the real market rate.

Banks rarely list their exchange rate markup as a cost. Compare their rate with the mid-market rate – the rate you find on financial news sites.

For a lot of routes, a specialist provider is cheaper than a bank. GoldexPay lists transfer providers next to each other, showing the amount the recipient gets. Using a transfer service does not mean leaving N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited – you pay the provider from your own account.

Is ROTHGB2L still correct? How to check

The best place to find the right code remains paperwork issued by the bank, such as a statement or the account details in online banking. When the code you were given does not match ROTHGB2L or ROTHGB2LXXX, stop and ask.

If the code is wrong, the transfer may get stuck, be returned or end up costing more – sometimes after weeks of searching. Remember the IBAN: a mistake there can be more difficult to correct than a wrong BIC.

Most online banking apps check the format of IBANs and sometimes look up the BIC automatically, but that does not prove the account belongs to the right person. Where available, a payee name check before sending gives extra certainty. Sending a small amount first can be worth it for large sums, even if it costs an extra fee.

Receiving money from abroad at N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited

A sender in another country needs several details from you – incomplete details often cause delays. That means: your full name exactly as it appears on the account, your account number or IBAN, the SWIFT/BIC code ROTHGB2LXXX (or ROTHGB2L) and, often, your postal address.

You can add N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited and its city too, since some forms ask for it. Check every detail before you send them – a sender rarely spots a mistake in someone else’s details.

What lands in your account can be lower than what was sent. Charges on incoming payments differ per bank; check the price list of N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited. On invoices, it is common to agree who bears the costs to avoid a shortfall.

What the XXX in ROTHGB2LXXX means

Each SWIFT/BIC code has an 8-character core: a four-letter bank code, two letters for the country and a two-character location code. That gives you ROTHGB2L.

The full version has three more characters that identify a branch or department. When those three characters are XXX, the code points to the head office, so ROTHGB2LXXX and ROTHGB2L are interchangeable.

Enter the code in one piece, in capitals and without separators, exactly as shown here. A wrong letter can send the money to a different institution, so copy it carefully.

Sending GBP to N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited

United Kingdom uses the British Pound (GBP). Money sent in a different currency is exchanged into GBP before it reaches the account – and the bank that does it picks the rate. There is rarely a separate line for the conversion – the cost sits in the rate.

Where the conversion happens affects the final amount, since every bank sets its own rate. Transferring the amount directly in GBP often avoids a second conversion at the receiving end, provided the rate you get is fair.

Rates for GBP change during the day. If you pay regularly, small differences in the rate add up over time.

Where our SWIFT data comes from

We collect bank codes from publicly available data and check our list regularly. Even so, banks merge, rename themselves or retire codes and our data may lag behind. Figures such as the number of codes come from our directory and may differ from what N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited publishes.

Use this page as a starting point, rather than as the last word: the recipient’s bank details come first. GoldexPay has no connection to N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited. Found outdated information? Tell us through the contact page so we can correct it.

How long does an international transfer to N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited take?

There is no fixed delivery time: many land within a day. Transfers sent late in the day or just before weekends and holidays often start a business day later. Compliance checks by one of the banks can also add some delay, even when all details are correct.

Many banks use SWIFT gpi for faster and traceable payments. Each gpi transfer carries a unique reference, the UETR that banks can use to trace it. Keep the payment confirmation until the money has arrived – you will need it for any trace request.

A missing payment is investigated from the sending side, using the payment confirmation. Ask the sender for a copy of the payment confirmation; that often settles the question quickly.

Which of the 2 codes of N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited do you need?

In most cases there is no need to pick a branch: payments addressed to ROTHGB2LXXX reach N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited without problems. If you have been given a branch code, stick to it rather than swapping it for the head office code.

When in doubt, ask the person you are paying which code their bank gave them. Branch codes are more likely to change than the head office code.

Watch out for payment fraud

A common scam goes like this: an email arrives with a request saying that a company has a new bank account and that the next payment should go there. That ROTHGB2L is a real code is no guarantee that the account is legitimate.

Verify changed bank details through a different channel like a call to a number from an earlier contract. Pressure and requests to keep it quiet tend to be red flags; a genuine business can wait for you to check. Acted too fast? Contact the bank you paid from without delay and have them try to recall the payment.

Recipients can be targeted as well: one known trick is a buyer who pays too much followed by a request to send back the difference abroad. A screenshot of a transfer is no proof.

Do you need ROTHGB2L for a SEPA transfer?

Within the SEPA zone, euro payments to N.m. Rothschild and Sons Limited follow common rules, so the IBAN does the job in most cases. The BIC field is often optional for those payments.

Outside the euro and for senders outside SEPA, ROTHGB2LXXX or ROTHGB2L is still part of the payment details. A few forms still ask for the BIC; in that case, fill in ROTHGB2L or ROTHGB2LXXX.

Euro payments within SEPA usually arrive by the next business day, and instant transfers in seconds where both banks support them. Fees for SEPA transfers tend to be low as long as everything stays in euros.
