Common mistakes to avoid
Typing errors
SWIFT codes are easy to mistype. Copy and paste when possible instead of typing character by character.
Using the print format
When sending money online, use the digital format without spaces. Some banks reject transfers with spaces in the code.
Wrong branch code
Large banks have different SWIFT codes for different branches. Confirm the exact branch code with your recipient.
