Sending Money to HSBC UK BANK PLC in SCUNTHORPE

Follow these three steps to ensure your international wire transfer reaches the correct account at the SCUNTHORPE 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 United Kingdom, IBANs typically start with the prefix GB.
  2. Step 2: Enter the SWIFT/BIC Code. When prompted by your banking app or wire service, enter HBUKGB4190O. This unique 11-character identifier ensures the funds are routed specifically to the HSBC UK BANK PLC systems in SCUNTHORPE.
  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 United Kingdom transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use this specific code or the HSBC UK BANK PLC head office code?

While the HSBC UK BANK PLC head office code (ending in XXX) is often accepted, using HBUKGB4190O is the best way to ensure your money reaches the SCUNTHORPE 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 SCUNTHORPE?

Yes, the office in SCUNTHORPE 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 HBUKGB4190O and your full IBAN associated with your account at this location.

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

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

HSBC UK BANK PLC
1 HIGH STREET - SCUNTHORPE, DN1, 1EE, LINCOLNSHIRE GB, DN1 1EE, SCUNTHORPE, United Kingdom

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

Typically, an international transfer to the branch in SCUNTHORPE takes between 1 and 3 business days. To avoid delays, ensure the sender uses the specific code HBUKGB4190O. Transfers initiated on weekends or during local public holidays in United Kingdom 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 HSBC UK BANK PLC location instead of the one in SCUNTHORPE, 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 SCUNTHORPE?

No. The SWIFT code HBUKGB4190O identifies the HSBC UK BANK PLC branch in SCUNTHORPE, whereas your IBAN identifies your specific, individual bank account. For a successful international transfer, you must provide both pieces of information to the sender.
