The fastest and most secure method of transferring funds overseas is an international money transfer. This is available in over 70 currencies.
An International Money Transfer (IMT) is an electronic transfer of funds for a specified currency and amount to an overseas recipient (the beneficiary).
What information is required to complete the transfer?
- Beneficiary Name: Recipient's full account name and address
- Beneficiary Account: Recipient's full account number or IBAN (International Bank Account Number)
- Beneficiary Bank: The beneficiary banks's name, address and SWIFT Code (Also known as a Bank Identifier Code/BIC)
Care must be taken when giving, writing or entering beneficiary account information. An international money transfer is often processed by account number only, so it is important that the account number is correct. Even though NBS will ask for an account name and number, our systems do not check that they correspond.
Please contact your local NBS Branch - they will provide you with the relevant information required.
