Eurocam SA SWIFT/BIC code

Eurocam SA SWIFT code: CBEUUYMM

Whether you are given CBEUUYMM or CBEUUYMMXXX, it is the identical identifier for Eurocam SA in Uruguay. A SWIFT code shows the sending bank exactly which bank should receive the money, a bit like a postal address for banks. You will need it mostly when dealing with transfers between countries.

Below we go through the practical questions: receiving money at Eurocam SA, sending money abroad and how to verify a SWIFT code before you confirm a payment. The BIC identifies a bank or branch, not a specific account, which is why you always need the account number too.

Is CBEUUYMM still correct? How to check

The most reliable place for the correct BIC is paperwork issued by the bank, such as a statement or the account details in online banking. When the code you were given differs from CBEUUYMM or CBEUUYMMXXX, do not guess: check with the recipient or with Eurocam SA directly.

An incorrect BIC can cause a delay, a payment being sent back or additional charges along the way. Do not forget the account number: an error there can be harder to correct than a wrong code.

Most online banking apps validate the format of IBANs and sometimes look up the BIC automatically. Where available, a name check before sending adds an extra layer of safety. For a first payment, some people start with a small test amount.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

Criminals regularly use payment requests with changed bank details. A real SWIFT code tells you nothing about whether the request is genuine – scammers simply use real codes.

Always confirm a change of bank details by phone. Be suspicious of time pressure, odd spelling or a sender address that is slightly off. Already paid? Contact your bank without delay and have them try to recall the payment; also report it to the police.

Scams also target the receiver. Someone sends too much and wants you to return the extra. Wait until the money has really arrived and check with Eurocam SA if anything seems off.

CBEUUYMM or CBEUUYMMXXX – which one to use?

A BIC is made up of a few fixed parts: characters one to four stand for the bank, characters five and six give the country and characters seven and eight indicate the location. The result is CBEUUYMM for Eurocam SA.

The 11-character version has three more characters that identify a branch or department. If the last three are XXX, they simply mean the head office, which is why CBEUUYMMXXX and CBEUUYMM lead to the same place.

Do not add spaces when you type CBEUUYMM; the code is always written in one block. Look out for the letter O and the digit 0 or the letter I and the digit 1, a common source of typos.

Incoming international payments to Eurocam SA

A sender in another country needs several details from you. The basics are: your name, IBAN or account number, CBEUUYMMXXX or CBEUUYMM and often your home address.

The sender’s bank might also ask for the address of your bank; the head office in Montevideo is usually fine. A typo in your account number is harder to fix than you might think, so copy the details from your online banking.

An incoming payment does not always land for the full amount. Charges on incoming payments vary per bank. Make clear with the sender who pays which costs, especially for larger amounts.

Head office or branch code at Eurocam SA?

We have 3 SWIFT/BIC codes for Eurocam SA. Besides the head office code CBEUUYMMXXX, there are codes for branches, departments or specific services.

In most cases there is no need to look up a branch: payments addressed to CBEUUYMMXXX reach Eurocam SA without problems. Branch codes are only needed if the account holder explicitly asks for it.

When in doubt, ask the person you are paying which code their bank gave them. Codes can change over time, so do not rely on old paperwork.

Paying someone abroad from your Eurocam SA account

The price of an international transfer has more than one component. There is the transfer fee, sometimes charges from correspondent banks along the way and, above all, the exchange rate markup if the currency changes.

Banks do not show their exchange rate markup as a cost – you only notice it if you compare. A simple test: put the rate you get against the mid-market rate for the same moment and work out the difference on your amount.

Specialised transfer providers often use a rate near the mid-market rate and lower fees. Before your next transfer, take a minute to compare the total cost on GoldexPay rather than accepting the bank’s rate by default. You can always use your account at Eurocam SA, while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

Tracking a transfer to or from Eurocam SA

An international transfer usually needs anywhere from one to several business days – it depends on currency, route and the banks in between. Transfers sent late in the day or just before a weekend or public holiday often go out a business day later. Sometimes a bank asks what the payment is for, which can hold things up.

If a transfer is delayed, contact the sending bank about the tracking status and the transaction reference. Keep your transfer receipt until the money has arrived – you will need it for any trace request.

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