When paying international vendors with Corpay One, there are a few requirements that you should be aware of depending on the vendor's country. Refer to the last paragraph of this article for more details about the most commonly paid vendor countries among Corpay One users.
๐ก FYI: These requirements only apply to Corpay One users in the US making payments outside of the US.
What are the requirements for international payments?
SWIFT/BIC code: used to identify the receiver's bank.
IBAN code (only for some countries): used to identify the receiver's bank account.
SWIFT/BIC code
A SWIFT/BIC is an 8-11 character code that identifies a vendor's country, city, bank, and branch.
For instance, this SWIFT code is for the Delhi branch of the bank HDFC: HDFCINBBDEL. The first four digits signify the bank code (HDFC), the next two signify the country code (IN), the next two signify the location code (BB), and the last three signify the branch (DEL) (the latter may be omitted or replaced with numbers in some cases).
๐ก A SWIFT/BIC code is mandatory for all international payments!
IBAN code
The IBAN system is developed as a standard international numbering system to identify an overseas bank account. It starts with a two-letter country code, followed by two check digits, and up to thirty-five alphanumeric characters.
For instance, a bank account in Kuwait could look like this: KW81CBKU0000000000001234560101.
Summary
In short, you can pay an international vendor via Corpay One as long as you have the SWIFT/BIC code of the vendor's bank and the IBAN code of the vendor's bank account.
