Sending Money Outside the UK

Our SWIFT Sending money service helps you Send money outside the UK that is not part of our Citibank Global Transfers service.

Sending money via SWIFT via SWIFT Funds Transfers usually clears within five working days. A fee is charged for each transfer and Citibank exchange rates may apply. If you are sending money in Euros to a beneficiary whose bank is located in the UK or the European Economic Area (“EEA”) in which case you will not be charged a fee. For more detailed information on fees see our fees and important documents.

Making a SWIFT Funds Transfer

Ensure you have the following information in hand before requesting a SWIFT Funds Transfer through your Relationship Manager:

• The Citi International Personal Bank account number you wish to transfer funds from.
• The amount and currency you wish to transfer.
• The BIC (Bank Identifier Code)/SWIFT Number (Code) and IBAN (International Bank Account Number, in a European country) of the account you are transferring funds to. You will need to ask the payee for this information.
• Full name and address of the beneficiary bank.
• Correspondent bank details for payments in currencies different to that of the receiving country e.g. if you are paying US Dollars to the UK. Some foreign currency transfers need an additional transfer bank account, which is Citibank UK's clearing, or correspondent bank for that currency.
