Sending Money to BANK OF COMMERCE AND DEVELOPMENT (L.J.S.C.) in BENGHAZI

Follow these three steps to ensure your international wire transfer reaches the correct account at the BENGHAZI branch without delays or hidden intermediary fees.

  1. Step 1: Collect Recipient Details. You will need the full legal name of the account holder and their IBAN (International Bank Account Number). For Libya, IBANs typically start with the prefix LY.
  2. Step 2: Enter the SWIFT/BIC Code. When prompted by your banking app or wire service, enter CDBLLYLT013. This unique 11-character identifier ensures the funds are routed specifically to the BANK OF COMMERCE AND DEVELOPMENT (L.J.S.C.) systems in BENGHAZI.
  3. Step 3: Confirm the Transfer Method. If you are sending from within Europe, select SEPA for lower fees and faster delivery. For transfers from outside the EU (e.g., USA, India, or Australia), ensure you select SWIFT/International Wire and double-check if your bank requires an intermediary bank for Libya transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use this specific code or the BANK OF COMMERCE AND DEVELOPMENT (L.J.S.C.) head office code?

While the BANK OF COMMERCE AND DEVELOPMENT (L.J.S.C.) head office code (ending in XXX) is often accepted, using CDBLLYLT013 is the best way to ensure your money reaches the BENGHAZI branch directly. By using the branch-specific code, you bypass the central sorting queue at the head office, which can often speed up the processing of your international transfer by a full business day.

Can I receive international payments at the branch in BENGHAZI?

Yes, the office in BENGHAZI is fully equipped to receive international wire transfers via the SWIFT network. To ensure the funds are credited correctly, you must provide the sender with the SWIFT/BIC code CDBLLYLT013 and your full IBAN associated with your account at this location.

What is the correct address for a wire transfer to BENGHAZI?

When you are asked for the "Beneficiary Bank Address" on a wire transfer form, you should provide the specific physical location in BENGHAZI to ensure a smooth verification process:

BANK OF COMMERCE AND DEVELOPMENT (L.J.S.C.)
BENINA AIRPORT, BENGHAZI, BENGHAZI, BENGHAZI, Libya

How long does it take for money to arrive at this Libya location?

Typically, an international transfer to the branch in BENGHAZI takes between 1 and 3 business days. To avoid delays, ensure the sender uses the specific code CDBLLYLT013. Transfers initiated on weekends or during local public holidays in Libya may take slightly longer to reflect in your account.

What happens if I use the SWIFT code for the wrong branch?

If you accidentally use a code for a different BANK OF COMMERCE AND DEVELOPMENT (L.J.S.C.) location instead of the one in BENGHAZI, your money is rarely lost. Instead, the bank will usually perform a "manual repair" to route the funds to the correct account based on your IBAN. However, this manual intervention often incurs a small additional fee and can delay the deposit by 24 to 48 hours.

Is this the same as the IBAN for my account in BENGHAZI?

No. The SWIFT code CDBLLYLT013 identifies the BANK OF COMMERCE AND DEVELOPMENT (L.J.S.C.) branch in BENGHAZI, whereas your IBAN identifies your specific, individual bank account. For a successful international transfer, you must provide both pieces of information to the sender.
