Seix Advisors SWIFT/BIC code

SEIXUS31 – the SWIFT/BIC code of Seix Advisors

The 8-character code SEIXUS31 and the full code SEIXUS31XXX refer to the same bank: Seix Advisors. Banks worldwide use these codes to direct international transfers to the correct bank. In practice you mostly see it on invoices from abroad, in your banking app and on the account details that Seix Advisors provides.

On this page we explain what the code is put together, when you need it and which other details you need for a transfer to or from Seix Advisors. Keep in mind that the SWIFT code only identifies the bank, not the person: the IBAN or account number takes care of that.

How to check SEIXUS31 before you pay

The safest source for the BIC is the bank details provided by the recipient. If the code you have differs from SEIXUS31 or SEIXUS31XXX, do not guess – contact the recipient or Seix Advisors.

An incorrect BIC may lead to delays, a returned payment or additional charges for investigation. An error in the IBAN or account number is more serious.

A format check by your bank only tells you that the code is valid – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. Where available, a payee name check on the recipient gives an extra layer of safety. When you pay someone new, many people start with a small amount first before sending the rest.

Why Seix Advisors has an 8- and an 11-character code

Each SWIFT/BIC code has an 8-character core: a four-letter bank code, two letters for the country and two characters for the location. Together, those parts form SEIXUS31.

XXX at the end of SEIXUS31XXX does not stand for a missing value or a mistake: it stands for the main office of Seix Advisors. Some banking apps insist on 11 characters, and then you can add XXX behind SEIXUS31.

Type the code as one block, in capitals and without separators. Look out for O versus 0 and the letter I and the digit 1.

Getting paid from abroad into a Seix Advisors account

If you are waiting for a payment from another country, give the sender everything they need in one go. What they need is: your name, IBAN or account number, SEIXUS31XXX or SEIXUS31 and often your postal address.

Some sending banks want the name and address of Seix Advisors in Upper Saddle River,nj. Check the details before you send them.

What lands in your account is often lower than the amount sent. Correspondent banks can take a fee, and if the currency changes, a markup on the rate applies. For business payments, it is common to state how the fees are split to avoid a shortfall.

Seix Advisors: head office code versus branch codes

We have 2 SWIFT/BIC codes for Seix Advisors in 1 places. Next to the head office code SEIXUS31XXX, there are codes for individual branches and departments.

If nobody asks you for a branch code, go with SEIXUS31XXX. Branch codes are only needed if the account holder explicitly mentions it, which is more common for business accounts and specialised services.

Unsure which code to use? Ask the recipient. Codes are sometimes changed or retired over time.

Watch out for payment fraud

Be alert if someone suddenly asks you to send money to another account. That SEIXUS31 is a real code does not mean that the account is legitimate.

Check new bank details through a separate channel, not by replying to the message. Be suspicious of time pressure, unusual wording or an email address that differs by one letter. If money has already gone to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately: the sooner they act, the better the chance of a recall.

Scams can also target the receiver. Someone sends too much and wants you to refund the extra via a different route. Do not act before the money has really arrived and check with Seix Advisors if anything seems off.

Sending money abroad from Seix Advisors

The price of a payment abroad has more than one component, and the transfer fee is only the most visible one. Besides the transfer fee, banks in between may take a cut, and when currencies are converted, the bank usually applies a rate that is less favourable than the actual market rate.

The markup on the rate tends to be the biggest item even though it is not listed as a fee. Check the rate you are offered against the mid-market rate, the midpoint between buy and sell rates you see on financial sites.

For many currency pairs, a specialist provider turns out to be cheaper than a traditional bank transfer, mainly because of the exchange rate. On GoldexPay you can compare what recipients receive with different providers, so you can pick the cheapest route. Choosing a specialist does not mean leaving Seix Advisors – you pay the provider from your own account.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Seix Advisors

An international transfer usually takes anywhere from one to several business days, depending on the currency, the route and the banks involved. Weekends and public holidays in the sending or receiving country add extra days. Extra checks on larger or unusual payments may also cause some delay, regardless of the details.

When a payment takes longer than expected, contact the sending bank about the status. Keep your transfer receipt; it contains the details a bank needs to start a trace.

The bank that sent the money can request a trace or a recall. Request from the sender the payment receipt – it helps your own bank look for the money.

Paying into Seix Advisors in USD

Accounts at Seix Advisors are usually held in USD, the national currency. When you pay money in a different currency gets converted somewhere along the way: by your bank, an intermediary or Seix Advisors itself. There is rarely a separate line for that conversion – the cost sits in the rate.

Where the conversion happens has an effect on the final amount. In many cases it is cheaper if you send USD straight away via a transfer service with a good rate.

The USD rate changes throughout the day. On larger amounts, a small gap in the rate adds up quickly.
