Always use the code on the recipient's invoice or account letter. Banks can publish more than one code, for example for a branch or a specific currency, and a code can change after a merger. Confirm new payment details with the recipient by a second channel before the first payment; changed bank details in an email are the most common route for payment fraud.

Sending US dollars to Southeast Bank

A US dollar payment to a bank outside the United States usually travels through a correspondent bank in the US, which holds dollars for the receiving bank. Each bank along the route can deduct a fee when the payer chooses shared charges (SHA). Choosing OUR asks the payer's bank to cover those charges so the full amount arrives. Our guide to intermediary bank fees explains how to see and avoid the deductions.
