You are in the right place if a payment was sent with the wrong SWIFT or BIC code. The payment may have reached the receiving side, but that does not mean it has been applied, released, or matched to the beneficiary.
Built for B2B importers and exporters in Europe, the UK, the USA, Canada, and the UAE with recurring international supplier, customer, and treasury payment flows.
Beneficiary-side problems turn a payment into an exception case. The funds may already be at or near the receiving bank, but the bank cannot confidently apply them to the intended account or party. For this case, gather sent BIC, correct BIC, beneficiary bank name, account details, and UETR. The next decision is whether the receiving bank can release or repair it, or whether recall or investigation is safer.
The payment may have reached the receiving side but not been applied. That can happen when the account name, IBAN, SWIFT or BIC, address, reference, or beneficiary bank requirement does not match cleanly. Here, a payment was sent with the wrong SWIFT or BIC code.
Compare beneficiary name, registered or legal name, IBAN or account number, SWIFT or BIC, beneficiary address, invoice name, and bank account name. Small differences can change whether the bank releases, repairs, rejects, or asks the sender bank for an amendment.
Do not request recall before checking whether an amendment or correction route is available.
Decide whether the next step is detail repair, release support, investigation, or a recall request when the beneficiary or account is wrong. Escalate when the receiving side has funds but will not apply them and no bank owns the case.
Unicorn Currencies helps organise the payment proof, references, beneficiary details, supplier messages, and timeline so the next action is clear. Depending on the payment state, that may mean waiting inside the rail window, requesting a trace, preparing a proof pack, supporting escalation, coordinating an amendment, or preparing a recall request. Unicorn Currencies does not control SWIFT, correspondent banks, beneficiary banks, or partner banks, and cannot guarantee recall, recovery, release, or bank action.
