8-Character vs 11-Character ALICO EUROBANK SWIFT Codes

ALICO EUROBANK branches may have either 8-character or 11-character SWIFT codes. Here is the key difference and when to use each:

• 8-character SWIFT code (Head Office BIC) — Refers to ALICO EUROBANK's primary or head office for that city. Most standard international wire transfers can be processed with just the 8-character code. The receiving bank routes funds internally.
• 11-character SWIFT code (Branch BIC) — Includes the 3-character branch suffix at the end, routing directly to a specific ALICO EUROBANK branch. Faster and more precise — recommended for large-value or time-sensitive transfers.

Best Practice: Always use the full 11-character SWIFT code if available. If only the 8-character code is known, it remains valid for most international transfers to ALICO EUROBANK in Greece.

SWIFT Code Errors — What to Avoid with ALICO EUROBANK

These are the most common mistakes when using a ALICO EUROBANK SWIFT code that cause transfers to fail or be delayed:

• Spaces or lowercase letters — SWIFT codes must always be uppercase with no spaces.
• Using an outdated code — Codes can change after bank mergers or system restructuring. Always verify on BankZop before initiating.
• Confusing IFSC with SWIFT — IFSC codes (used for India domestic NEFT/RTGS) are completely different from SWIFT codes. They cannot be used interchangeably.
• Wrong branch city — Selecting a SWIFT code for the wrong city branch can cause internal routing delays even if the bank code is correct.
• Missing account number — A correct SWIFT code with a wrong account number still causes a failed transfer. Verify both independently.

Correspondent Banks and Intermediary SWIFT Codes

Not all banks maintain direct SWIFT relationships with ALICO EUROBANK. In these cases, a correspondent (intermediary) bank acts as a relay, holding accounts on behalf of ALICO EUROBANK to facilitate the currency exchange or settlement. Your sending bank may ask for the correspondent bank's SWIFT code in addition to the ALICO EUROBANK BIC. Always confirm intermediary bank details directly with the recipient's ALICO EUROBANK branch for high-value transactions.
