Where our SWIFT data comes from

We collect SWIFT/BIC codes from publicly available data and check them regularly. It can happen that a code on this page is no longer current, for example after a merger. The number of codes on this page are based on our own data.

Use our data as a reference, rather than as the last word: the recipient’s bank details come first. GoldexPay is independent of Mizuho Securities USA LLC.. If you notice a mistake, we appreciate a short note.

Why Mizuho Securities USA LLC. has an 8- and an 11-character code

A SWIFT code is made up of fixed blocks: characters one to four stand for the bank, characters five and six give the country and characters seven and eight indicate the location. In this case, the 8-character core is MHSCUS33.

XXX at the end of MHSCUS33XXX does not stand for a placeholder or an error: it indicates the head office of Mizuho Securities USA LLC.. Some banking apps ask for 11 characters, in which case you can add XXX after MHSCUS33.

Leave out spaces, dots when you type MHSCUS33. A single letter can send the money to a different institution, so check it twice.

Choosing between the 3 SWIFT codes of Mizuho Securities USA LLC.

We have 3 SWIFT/BIC codes for Mizuho Securities USA LLC. in 1 places. Next to the head office code MHSCUS33XXX, there are codes for individual branches and departments.

Unless the recipient tells you otherwise, go with MHSCUS33XXX. Branch codes are only needed when the account holder explicitly asks for it, which is more common for business accounts and specialised services.

Not sure which code to use? Ask the recipient or the bank itself. Codes for branches are more prone to change than the head office code when a bank merges or closes offices.

When will the money arrive at Mizuho Securities USA LLC.?

There is no single delivery time: many land within a day while others need several business days. Transfers sent late in the day or on a weekend or public holiday often start the next business day. Compliance checks on larger or unusual payments may also add some delay, regardless of the details.

Many banks use SWIFT gpi for faster and traceable payments. Every gpi transfer gets a unique transaction reference, the UETR. Save your transfer receipt until the money has arrived – you will need it for any trace request.

If the money does not arrive after a few business days, the person who paid should contact their own bank, not the receiving bank. As a recipient, you can check your account for a partial amount because fees can reduce the amount.

Getting paid from abroad into a Mizuho Securities USA LLC. account

For an international payment into your account at Mizuho Securities USA LLC., the sender has to have more than the BIC. What they need is: your name, account number or IBAN, MHSCUS33XXX or MHSCUS33 and often your home address.

Their bank may also ask for the address of your bank, in which case the New York,ny head office is the usual answer. A typo in the IBAN is more trouble than it looks; copy them from your banking app rather than typing.

Expect that the incoming amount is smaller than what the sender paid. Fees for incoming transfers differ per bank. Agree with the sender who covers the fees, especially for larger amounts.

Paying into Mizuho Securities USA LLC. in USD

United States pays in the US Dollar, with the currency code USD. Money sent in a different currency is converted into USD. There is rarely a separate line for the conversion; it is built into the rate.

Which bank converts the payment makes a difference: every bank has its own margin. Check what USD the recipient gets with several services before choosing one.

Rates for USD move during the day. For recurring payments, a slightly better rate make a real difference over time.

Sending money abroad from Mizuho Securities USA LLC.

An international bank payment costs rather more than the fee suggests. There is the fee for the transfer itself, possibly charges from correspondent banks along the way and, most importantly, the margin on the exchange rate when the money is converted.

The real cost is often in the rate, not in the fee: many banks convert at a rate with a margin built in. Compare their rate against the mid-market rate; the gap is what conversion costs you.

For many currency pairs, a specialist provider turns out to be cheaper than a traditional bank transfer. GoldexPay lists these services side by side, showing what actually arrives before you commit. Using a transfer service does not require leaving Mizuho Securities USA LLC. – you pay the provider from your own account.

How to check MHSCUS33 before you pay

Ask the recipient to send you the bank details straight from a recent statement. Check it with MHSCUS33 here.

A wrong SWIFT code can cause a delay, a returned payment or additional charges along the way. A mistake in the account number can be a bigger problem because it can reach the wrong person.

A format check by your bank merely tells you that the IBAN is valid, not that it is the right account. If your bank offers it, a name check before sending gives extra certainty. A small test payment is a sensible step for large sums.

Protect yourself against fake payment requests

Criminals regularly send fake invoices with changed bank details sent from what looks like a familiar address. The fact that MHSCUS33 exists does not mean that a request mentioning it is legitimate; criminals use the codes of real banks too.

Verify changed bank details through a different channel, never via the email that asked for the change. Pressure or secrecy are warning signs. Acted too fast? Call the bank you paid from straight away and ask them to start a recall; also report it to the police.

Fraud can also target the receiver: someone sends too much and asks you to refund the difference to a new account. A screenshot of a transfer proves nothing; only your own account shows what has arrived.
