Is my SWIFT code the same as my routing number?
No. For domestic payments, US banks use a domestic routing code to identify your specific bank and bank account. It’s made of a nine-digit ABA number that identifies your bank and branch and your unique account number.
This routing number is often found at the bottom of your personal checks or by signing in to your online banking system.
what to do to receive a wire transfer from US if their asking for an IBAN?
Hi Bernz,
Thanks for your comment and I hope you are doing well.
When a bank asks for an IBAN, you would need to get the IBAN of your bank (where the funds are going to be deposited) otherwise the transfer will not be successful.
Hope this helps and feel free to reach out to us again for further assistance.
Best,

Hola, tengo una consulta, soy de El Salvador y me enviaran una transferencia desde España, pero me piden el IBAN de este PaÃs, y aquà solo se trabaja con código swift, sin embargo, me indican que si logró enviarles el código IBAN de un Banco de El Salvador, no será posible que yo reciba la transferencia, que opciones tengo?
Hola eloisa
Gracias por contactar a Finder.
En El Salvador, hay 11 bancos diferentes y 13 sucursales bancarias diferentes de estos bancos. Es posible que deba comunicarse directamente con su banco para obtener su código IBAN, ya que es una combinación de SWIFT y su número de cuenta bancaria. ¡Espero que esto ayude!

Barclay’s bank send to me account number ,pin code ,international call no so that I must transfer money to my bank account then I must phone and follow voice prompted. On the voice prompt it need six digits for change access code to commence with transfer transaction. I don’t know that code. Please help me.
Hi Robert,
Thank you for reaching out to Finder.
Swift and IBAN codes are alpha numeric which is a combination of letters and numbers. You may need to reach out to Barclay directly so you could inquire what code that is the voice prompt is asking. Hope this helps!

I cannot proceed to international bank transfer because the swift code of beneficiary bank is not yet registered for online operations. Can I replace the swift code with the IBAN? I mean instead to write in the space where is located SWIFT code just type the IBAN instead.
Thank you.
Hi AC,
Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.
Yes, you may use the IBAN so long that your bank already have that. Please note that the United States does not use IBAN numbers, but you could encounter them when sending money to an international recipient — specifying the IBAN number makes for faster transactions.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,

What documents are needed to ensure that you legally transfer money , and where do I obtain this document s
Hi Sam,
Thank you for reaching out to Finder.
Generally, when transferring money you would only need the receiver’s information to complete a transfer. For large sum transfers, the remittance center or the bank will provide you documents that you would need to complete which are normally handed over to the IRS to validate that the transfer is legal. For more information on this, you may contact your local bank or remittance center. Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Reggie
