US Dollar (USD) and conversion costs

The local currency in United States is the US Dollar (USD). If you send another currency has to be converted somewhere along the way. You rarely see a separate line for the conversion.

Who converts the payment matters. In many cases it is cheaper if you send USD directly via a provider that converts near the mid-market rate, so that the receiving bank does not need to convert again.

The USD rate fluctuates throughout the day. For recurring payments, small differences in the rate make a real difference over a year.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Delta Air Lines, Inc

How fast a payment arrives at Delta Air Lines, Inc is determined by a few things: which currency you send, how many intermediary banks are involved, cut-off times and time zones. Bank holidays in the sending or receiving country can add extra days to the journey. Compliance checks on larger or unusual payments may also cause a delay, regardless of the details.

Many banks are connected to SWIFT gpi, which lets them follow a payment from bank to bank. Every payment carries a unique reference, the UETR. Save your transfer receipt.

Only the sending bank can request a trace or a recall. On the receiving end, you can check your statements to see a slightly lower amount, since fees may have been deducted.

Changed bank details? Be careful

Fraudsters often send fake invoices containing changed bank details, sometimes in an email that looks completely genuine. A valid SWIFT code tells you nothing about whether the request is genuine: scammers use real codes of real banks.

Always confirm a change of bank details through a phone call. Be suspicious of urgent requests, unusual wording or a sender address that is slightly off. When money was sent to a fraudster, contact your bank immediately.

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. A screenshot of a transfer is no proof – check your own account.

DEAIUS31 or DEAIUS31XXX – which one to use?

Each SWIFT/BIC code has an 8-character core: four letters for the bank, a two-letter country code and two characters for the location. That gives you DEAIUS31, the short form of the code.

XXX at the end of DEAIUS31XXX does not stand for a missing value or a mistake: it indicates the head office of Delta Air Lines, Inc. Some forms insist on 11 characters, and then you simply add XXX after DEAIUS31.

Type the code as one block, in upper case and without separators, exactly as shown here. Copying the code beats retyping it: a typo can point to another bank.

A wrong SWIFT code can cause delays, a returned payment or extra fees for investigation. A mistake in the account number can be more serious because it can reach the wrong person, so check that just as carefully.

Most online banking apps check the format of IBANs. More and more banks check the name with the account. Sending a small amount first is a sensible step for a large first payment, even if it costs an extra fee.
