Penn Capital Management SWIFT/BIC code

SWIFT/BIC code of Penn Capital Management

PECNUS31 and PECNUS31XXX are two spellings of the same SWIFT/BIC code, and both point to Penn Capital Management in Cherry Hill,nj.

In practice you mostly see the code on invoices from abroad, in payment forms and on the account details that Penn Capital Management provides.

On this page you can read what the code means, when it matters and what else you need for a transfer to or from Penn Capital Management. The BIC names an institution, never a specific account.

The US Dollar and what conversion costs you

United States pays in the US Dollar (USD). When you pay another currency it gets converted at some point. Every conversion eats into something, even when no fee is shown.

Who does the conversion has an effect on how much arrives. Transferring the amount already in USD usually avoids a second conversion at the receiving end, provided the rate you get is fair.

Rates for USD move all the time, and some providers let you lock in a rate. If you pay regularly, small differences in the rate make a real difference over a year.

Incoming international payments to Penn Capital Management

When you are waiting for money from abroad, send the payer all details at once. Give them your name as the bank knows it, your account number or IBAN, the BIC PECNUS31XXX and your address.

The sender’s bank may request the address of your bank; the head office in Cherry Hill,nj is usually fine. A mistake in your account number can be more trouble than you might think.

The amount you receive is often less than what was sent. Charges on incoming payments vary from bank to bank – the price list of Penn Capital Management tells you what applies. On invoices, you can agree who bears the costs to avoid a shortfall.

Paying someone abroad from your Penn Capital Management account

The price of an international transfer has more than one component, and the transfer fee is only the most visible one. On top of the transfer fee, banks in between can deduct a fee, and when currencies are converted, the bank usually applies a rate that is less favourable than the real market rate.

The real cost is often in the rate, not in the fee: many banks convert at a rate that includes a margin. Check the rate you are offered against the mid-market rate, the midpoint between buy and sell rates you see on financial sites; the gap is what conversion costs you.

For a lot of currency pairs, a transfer service turns out to be less expensive than a bank. Next time you send money, it is worth to compare the total cost via GoldexPay rather than accepting the bank’s rate by default. You can always use your account at Penn Capital Management, while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Penn Capital Management

How fast a transfer arrives at Penn Capital Management is determined by several factors: the currency, how many intermediary banks are involved, cut-off times and time zones. Weekends and public holidays in either country can add extra days to the journey. Extra checks by one of the banks can also cause some delay, even when all details are correct.

Many banks use SWIFT gpi, which lets them follow a payment from bank to bank. Every payment gets a unique transaction reference, the UETR. Keep the payment confirmation until the recipient confirms – you will need it for any trace request.

A delayed transfer has to be investigated by the sending bank, using the payment confirmation. On the receiving end, you can check your account to see a slightly lower amount, since fees may have been deducted.

Watch out for payment fraud

Criminals often use payment requests containing new bank details. The fact that PECNUS31 exists is no guarantee that the account is genuine – fraudsters use real bank codes as well.

Check new bank details through a separate channel, such as a phone number you already know, never via the email that asked for the change. Urgency or requests to keep it quiet tend to be red flags – a real supplier can wait a day. If a payment was sent to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately – speed improves the chance of getting it back.

Recipients can be targeted as well: a classic trick is a buyer who pays too much and then sends a request to refund the difference. Do not act before the money has really arrived – ask Penn Capital Management if something looks wrong.

Why Penn Capital Management has an 8- and an 11-character code

A BIC is made up of fixed blocks: characters one to four stand for the bank, characters five and six show the country and characters seven and eight indicate the location. The result is PECNUS31 for Penn Capital Management.

Most payment forms accept both lengths. If yours asks for eleven characters, enter PECNUS31XXX.

Do not add spaces, dots when you type PECNUS31. Watch for the letter O and the digit 0 and I versus 1; they are easy to mix up.

Penn Capital Management: head office code versus branch codes

We have 2 SWIFT/BIC codes for Penn Capital Management in 1 cities. Next to the head office code PECNUS31XXX, you will find codes for individual branches and departments.

For most incoming transfers, the head office code PECNUS31XXX is what you need. If you have been given a branch code, stick to it rather than swapping it for the head office code.

Unsure which code applies? Check with the recipient or the bank itself. Branch codes are sometimes changed or retired when banks reorganise, so a code from an old document is not always valid.

Where our SWIFT data comes from

We collect SWIFT/BIC codes using publicly available data and update our list from time to time. Banks merge, close branches and retire codes, and a directory never catches every change immediately. The number of codes on this page are based on what is in our directory and not on information from Penn Capital Management itself.

See our directory on this page as a handy check. GoldexPay is a comparison site for money transfers and not affiliated with Penn Capital Management. Found outdated information? Tell us through the contact page so we can correct it.

Before you send: check the Penn Capital Management code

Ask the recipient to send you their account details directly from a recent statement. When the code you were given does not match PECNUS31 or PECNUS31XXX, do not guess – contact the recipient or Penn Capital Management.

If the code is wrong, the payment might get stuck, bounce back or end up costing more, and tracing it can take weeks. A mistake in the IBAN or account number is a bigger problem because it can reach the wrong person, so check that just as carefully.

A format check by your bank only tells you that the IBAN is valid – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. If your bank offers it, a payee name check before sending gives extra certainty. For a first payment, some people send a small test amount and wait for confirmation.
