How to use GEBACN21 for a transfer
Give the sender two things: the BIC GEBACN21 (or GEBACN21XXX if the form asks for 11 characters) and your account number at Fortis Bank S.a./N.v. Guangzhou Branch. In China the account number is the local one shown on the statement. Check both on your bank statement before sending a large amount: a wrong code delays the transfer or sends it back with fees.
The BIC (Business Identifier Code), commonly called SWIFT code, identifies a bank or institution in international payments. It has 8 or 11 characters: 4 letters for the institution, 2 for the country, 2 for the location, and an optional 3 for the branch. XXX, or no branch code at all, means the head office.
