IBAN Numbers? Swift Codes?
 
Hello from a wet and windy Ireland! I know you lot are sweltering over there!!

:curse:

I need to transfer some money from Ireland to our Spanish account.


I have looked on all my documentation for the IBAN and swift codes that I need but I can't find them at all. :frown: I rang my bank on Friday but it was closed..

Does anyone know the IBAN indicator ES?? for CAM Bank, my branch is Polop de La Marina, Costa Blanca. I think I have all the details apart from the ES number. And SWift Code if poss?

Strange request, sorry, I hope someone will be able to help me out cos its urgent! :wub:

Hiya

Sorry i cannot help - however my UK Bank Statements have the IBAN number on the side of the statements. It contains alot of letters and numbers - which not only name the bank but it also contains sort and account number within the IBAN number

My IBAN number with the Bank of Andalucia is ES42 followed by the normal bank and account codes.

I "guess" it is the same for everyone as the identity of the bank is the first 4 numbers of the normal code.

Maybe someone with a different bank can confirm that theirs is also ES42

Halifax Hispania is ES07
Banesto for non-residents is ES20 and for residents ES15

so it's perhaps not that simple. But, as previously mentioned, they are usually printed on the statements.

You dont have to put your bank details on invoices in the UK ,only your company reg number and VAT number, but it is common practice here,

Well obviously the law has changed since I was in business there back in the 1990's when we were advised by accountants and solicitors that it was required for our Limited Company

A few months ago when the child benefit agency lost a disc containing the personal details of all it's claimants, Jeremy Clarkson wrote a newspaper article to the effect that people were worrying needlessly about their security.

He pointed out that details such as names addresses, dates of birth and bank account details could be found out by anyone who was interested either from a cheque or the electoral roll.

To illustrate how unconcerned he was he then published his own details in the paper.

A couple of weeks later he found that someone had used those details to set a standing order to a charity and £500 had already been paid out of his account :rofl:

At the top of my Banco Andalucia statement is an explanation of how IBAN is set out.


Bank Office DC Account No

IBAN ES47 0004 3135 0000 0000 0000

All Spanish banks start wih ES and a number then the bank is identified in this case Banco Andalucia part of the Grupo Banco Popular so this could be either the bank or group number then the branch in this case Ayamonte where there is only one branch of the group. I do not know what DC is short for but is two digits folowed by the first two digits from the 10 digit account number.

So in summary the IBAN for a Spanish account is

ES00 followed by 20 digits get it right and everything works quickly and correctly.
