Receiving wire transfer from overseas

Penn_Wooding

I display a few adverts on my website and make a little bit of money each month. I have only been with this particular company for one month and I've just received my first payment which came through PayPal. However, I can set up a wire transfer if I wish. Problem is I don't understand the information they are looking for. This is the fields I have to fill in. I put it? Next to the fields I don't quite understand

Beneficiary name

Beneficiary bank name

Beneficiary account number

Beneficiary address

Beneficiary bank address

Bank swift code (I can't find the swift code for my branch in Brixham)

Bank ABA number?

Bank country code?

SWIFT code is bank-specific and is the same for all branches. Regardless, all banks have it printed on monthly statements now.

Google shows that ABA code is used in USA only.

AFAIK, country code is the first two letters of IBAN (can be fount in the statement too) and is GB: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Number
The same code is a part of the SWIFT code, so the information they request is excessive.

Tell us your sortcode and we can try to find the SWIFT/BIC code for you, although you can probably find it for yourself on here

The standard swift code for your bank (eg BARCGB22) together with your sort code should suffice but your branch will have its own code (eg BARCGB21123) so if you can find that you will be fine.

As has already been pointed out, the ABA code is used solely in the US. It's also known as fedwire. I would be tempted to contact them to check whether this would be the place to put the UK sortcode.
