Using the right code
Use the SWIFT code shown on the recipient's invoice or account letter. Banks can publish separate codes for branches, currencies or business units. Before the first payment to a new supplier, confirm the account details by phone or a second email; fraudsters often send changed bank details from look-alike email addresses.
Banks in Chile also publish these local identifiers: BancoEstado asks for the beneficiary full name, BancoEstado account number, address and telephone; origin of funds over USD 10,000; Scotiabank Chile says the former BBVA Chile code BHIFCLRM has been withdrawn and replaced by BKSACLRM.
