What happens if I use the wrong SWIFT/BIC code?

Using an incorrect code can delay transfers, cause payment returns, or route funds to an incorrect institution. Correspondent banks along the route may charge return processing fees, and currency conversion losses may occur. Always verify details with the beneficiary.

How long does a payment using PYFACA82 take to arrive?

International SWIFT wires typically settle within 1 to 5 business days, depending on time zones, clearing cut-offs, correspondent hops (BIS CPMI), and compliance checks.

Why does my payment need an intermediary or correspondent bank?

Is PYFACA82 the same as a domestic clearing code in Canada?

No. PYFACA82 is an international ISO 9362 SWIFT BIC. Domestic transfers in Canada clear through undefined under [object Object] oversight (primary currency: CAD). SWIFT BICs route cross-border transactions.
