Transfer times and tracking a payment to Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Investment and Development of Vietnam

There is no single answer for every transfer: some land within a day, others take several business days. Bank holidays in either country can add extra days. Extra checks by one of the banks can also add some delay, even when all details are correct.

The bank that sent the money can request a trace. On the receiving end, it helps to check your statements for a slightly lower amount.

Incoming international payments to Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Investment and Development of Vietnam

For a transfer from abroad into your account at Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Investment and Development of Vietnam, the sender has to have more than the SWIFT code. In practice that means: your full name exactly as it appears on the account, your account number or IBAN, the BIC BIDVVNVXXXX (or BIDVVNVX) and, often, your postal address.

The sender’s bank may request the address of your bank, in which case the Hanoi head office is the usual answer. A typo in the IBAN is harder to fix than you might think.

What lands in your account is often lower than what was sent. Charges on incoming payments vary from bank to bank. For business payments, it is common to agree who bears the costs to avoid a shortfall.

A note on our data

This directory draws on public sources. Institutions merge, change names and change codes, and a directory never catches every change immediately. The figures we show are based on what is in our directory and not on information from Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Investment and Development of Vietnam itself.

Treat our data as a starting point, rather than as the last word. GoldexPay is an independent comparison site for money transfers and not affiliated with Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Investment and Development of Vietnam. Should you notice something that is out of date, we welcome a message.

What a transfer from Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Investment and Development of Vietnam abroad really costs

What you pay for an international transfer is made up of more than one component, and the transfer fee is only the most visible one. Besides a fixed fee, banks in between can take a cut, and if currencies are converted the bank often uses a rate that is less favourable than the real market rate.

Banks rarely show their exchange rate markup as a cost, but you pay it all the same. An easy check: put the bank’s rate next to the mid-market rate and look at the difference.

For many routes, a specialist provider turns out to be less expensive than a bank, mainly because of the exchange rate. GoldexPay compares these services side by side so you can see the amount the recipient gets for the same amount sent. You can still use your account at Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Investment and Development of Vietnam as the source of the money, while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

Before you send: check the Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Investment and Development of Vietnam code

Ask the recipient to send you the bank details straight from their online banking. If the code you have does not match BIDVVNVX or BIDVVNVXXXX, do not guess: check with the recipient or with Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Investment and Development of Vietnam directly.

A wrong SWIFT code may lead to a delay, a returned payment or extra fees for investigation. An error in the IBAN or account number is more serious; check it just as carefully.

Most online banking apps validate the structure of an IBAN and some suggest the matching BIC. More and more banks compare the name with the account before you confirm. Sending a small amount first is worth it for large sums.

8 or 11 characters: BIDVVNVX versus BIDVVNVXXXX

The structure of every SWIFT code is always the same: a bank code of four letters, a two-letter country code and a two-character location code. That gives you BIDVVNVX.

The 11-character version has three more characters for a branch or department. When those three characters are XXX, the code points to the head office, so BIDVVNVXXXX and BIDVVNVX are interchangeable.

In practice the code is typed in capitals and without spaces. A single letter can send a payment to another bank, so copy it carefully.

Which of the 51 codes of Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Investment and Development of Vietnam do you need?

With 51 codes, Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Investment and Development of Vietnam belongs to the banks that register individual codes for branches. The main code remains BIDVVNVXXXX.

Usually there is no need to pick a branch: transfers addressed to BIDVVNVXXXX are routed within Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Investment and Development of Vietnam without problems. A branch code only makes sense if the account holder explicitly mentions it.

Unsure which code applies? Check with the recipient. Branch codes are more prone to be retired than BIDVVNVXXXX.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

Stay alert when someone unexpectedly wants you to send money to a different account abroad. A valid SWIFT code tells you nothing about whether the request is genuine.

Before paying, verify changed bank details through a phone call. Urgency and requests to keep it quiet tend to be red flags – a real supplier can wait a day. If a payment has already gone to the wrong account, call your bank right away: the sooner they act, the better the chance of a recall.

Fraud also target the receiver: someone sends more than agreed and wants you to return the difference via a different route. Wait until the money has really arrived and check with Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Investment and Development of Vietnam if anything seems off.
