The 8-character code BEARUS33 and the full code BEARUS33XXX identify the same bank: J.p. Morgan Securities LLC.

In daily life you mostly see it on invoices from abroad, in payment forms and in the bank details of J.p. Morgan Securities LLC customers.

We wrote this page to help anyone who sends money to an account at J.p. Morgan Securities LLC. The BIC names an institution, never a single account.

8 or 11 characters: BEARUS33 versus BEARUS33XXX

Each SWIFT/BIC code starts with the same eight core characters: four letters for the bank, two letters for the country and two characters for the location. Together, these eight characters form BEARUS33, the code most people search for.

XXX at the end of BEARUS33XXX is not a missing value or a mistake: it stands for the main office of J.p. Morgan Securities LLC. Certain payment forms insist on 11 characters, in which case you simply add XXX behind BEARUS33.

As a rule the code is written in capitals and without spaces. Look out for O versus 0 or I versus 1.

Tracking a transfer to or from J.p. Morgan Securities LLC

An international transfer typically takes anywhere from one to several business days, depending on the currency, the route and the banks involved. Transfers sent late in the day or just before a weekend or public holiday usually start the next business day. Extra checks on larger or unusual payments can also cause a delay, even when all details are correct.

When a payment takes longer than expected, contact your bank about the status or the UETR; with that reference banks can see where the payment is. Keep the payment confirmation – you will need it for any trace request.

If a payment has not arrived within the expected time, the sender needs to start with their own bank. Ask the sender for the payment receipt including the reference.

What to give a sender who pays you at J.p. Morgan Securities LLC

To receive an international payment at J.p. Morgan Securities LLC, the person paying you needs not just the BIC. The basics are: the account holder’s name, account number or IBAN, BEARUS33XXX or BEARUS33 and, for some countries, your postal address.

It helps to include J.p. Morgan Securities LLC and New York,ny too. Double-check every detail before you send them.

Expect that the incoming amount is below the amount on the sender’s receipt. Charges on incoming payments vary from bank to bank. Make clear with the sender who covers the fees, especially for larger amounts.

International transfers from J.p. Morgan Securities LLC: the real cost

The price of an international transfer has more than one component. Besides a fixed fee, correspondent or intermediary banks may deduct a fee, and when the money changes currency, the bank usually uses a rate below the real market rate.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate, rather than in the fee: the bank converts using an exchange rate with a margin built in. Compare their rate with the mid-market rate, the midpoint between buy and sell rates you see on financial sites. The difference is your real conversion cost.

Money transfer services often use a rate near the mid-market rate and lower fees. GoldexPay compares transfer providers side by side, showing what actually arrives. Using a transfer service does not require leaving J.p. Morgan Securities LLC: you simply pay the service from your account.

Where our SWIFT data comes from

We collect bank codes using publicly available data and update our list from time to time. Banks reorganise, change names and retire codes. The figures we show are based on what is in our directory.

Treat our directory on this page as a helpful check, and let the details from the recipient or J.p. Morgan Securities LLC have the final say. We are a comparison service for money transfers and not part of J.p. Morgan Securities LLC. Should you notice something that is out of date, we welcome a message via the contact page.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Fraudsters regularly use payment requests containing new bank details sent from what looks like a familiar address. A valid SWIFT code tells you nothing about who owns the account – scammers simply use real codes.

Never rely on contact details from the same email that announces the change. Urgency and secrecy tend to be red flags. Acted too fast? Contact the bank you paid from without delay and ask them to try to recall the payment and report the fraud.

People receiving money can be targeted as well: one known trick is an overpayment followed by a request to refund the difference to another account. A screenshot of a transfer proves nothing; only your own account shows what has arrived.

Paying into J.p. Morgan Securities LLC in USD

Accounts at J.p. Morgan Securities LLC are typically held in USD, the local currency of United States. When you pay another currency it gets converted somewhere along the way – by your bank, by J.p. Morgan Securities LLC or by a bank in between. You rarely see a separate line for the conversion; it is built into the rate.

Who does the conversion affects the final amount. Compare how much USD arrives via different services; the difference between options can be larger than you expect.

Exchange rates move all the time – some services let you fix a rate in advance. If you pay regularly, a slightly better rate make a real difference over a year.

Before you send: check the J.p. Morgan Securities LLC code

Have the recipient copy the account details directly from their online banking. When the code you were given differs from BEARUS33 or BEARUS33XXX, do not guess: check with the recipient or with J.p. Morgan Securities LLC directly.

With a wrong code, the transfer may get stuck, be returned or end up costing more, and tracing it can take weeks. A mistake in the account number can be more serious; check it just as carefully.

Most online banking apps check the structure of an IBAN and some suggest the matching BIC, but that does not prove the account belongs to the right person. Where available, a name check on the recipient gives extra certainty. Sending a small amount first is worth it for large sums despite the extra fee.

J.p. Morgan Securities LLC: head office code versus branch codes

We have 18 SWIFT/BIC codes for J.p. Morgan Securities LLC in 2 places. Next to the head office code BEARUS33XXX, you will find codes for branches, departments or specific services.

For the vast majority of incoming transfers, the head office code BEARUS33XXX works fine. Only use a branch code when the recipient explicitly asks for it, for example on an invoice or in their bank details.

Not sure which code to use? Ask the recipient or the bank itself. Codes are sometimes changed or retired when banks reorganise, so do not rely on old paperwork.
