  • AUD – Australian Dollar 
  • HKD – Hong Kong Dollar 
  • JPY – Japanese Yen 
  • NZD – New Zealand Dollar 
  • SGD – Singapore Dollar 
  • CHF – Swiss Franc

  • NOK – Norwegian Krone 
  • SEK – Swedish Krona 
  • CAD – Canadian Dollar 

We are also changing our Inwards payment routing details from Lloyds to Citi Bank for:

When are they changing?

Monday 18th November 2024

I haven’t received a notification about any changes?

An email will be sent to all clients providing prior notice of these changes and directing you to our website for the new routing details. In addition, we will be notifying all clients via the Online Banking portal.

 
Why is SBO changing inwards payments routing details?

We are constantly looking to improve our services and ensure we offer reliable and high-quality banking services. From time to time, we change our banking partners as a step towards enhancing our service levels. This change in banking partners has resulted in inwards payments routing details changing to our new partner.  

 
Who are you moving to?

We will be using Citi Bank for minor currencies and EUR.

 
Why are you not moving all currencies to Citi?

We are still using current providers to minimise disruption for:

  • GBP - British Pound Sterling
  • USD - United States Doller
  • AED - United Arab Emirates Dirham
  • ZAR - South African Rand
How will this impact me?

We are changing the way we receive payments into your account.

For inward payments, this means that you need to take action to ensure that any payments you or others send to your Standard Bank Offshore account are updated with the new payment routing details to prevent a delay in them being received. 

For outward payments you make from your Standard Bank Offshore account, you do not need to change anything and there is no change in the charges to you.

 
What will change when I send money into my account?

Please quote the new routing information and provide this to any third parties who might send money to you. This will affect regular payments as well as one-off payments sent to your account. Full details are available on our website and in the leaflet provided.

 
For which currencies will I need to use the new payment details when I make an inward payment?

Any inward payments you make to your Standard Bank Offshore account, in the currencies below, will need to be routed with the new routing details.

  •  EUR – Euro  
  • AUD – Australian Dollar 
  • HKD – Hong Kong Dollar 
  • JPY – Japanese Yen 
  • NZD – New Zealand Dollar 
  • SGD – Singapore Dollar 
  • CHF – Swiss Franc 
  • DKK – Danish Krone 
  • NOK – Norwegian Krone 
  • SEK – Swedish Krona 
  • CAD – Canadian Dollar 
 
Will this change the time scales for processing payments?

There are no changes to cut off times.

 

Can I continue to make the same payments as before, in all different currencies?

Yes.

 
I have a Professional Demand Account (PRDA), will I have to pay these fees?

No, we have made a special arrangement with our correspondent banks so you will not be charged a correspondent bank fee.

When making a payment through Internet Banking or the mobile app, remember to select the charge type ‘Remitter’.
I used the wrong charge type when making my payment, will you refund the charge?

Unfortunately, this is not possible as the charge has already been taken from the payment amount by the correspondent bank.

 
What will happen to any funds sent to my account using the old information?

It is essential you use the new routing instructions as soon as possible.  If the wrong details are used to send funds to your account, then the payment is at risk of being returned to the remitting bank and will need to be re-sent.   The remitting bank may also apply a charge when the funds are returned.

Will I have to change my current standing order details?

No, Sterling standing order details remain the same as our sort code has not changed.  Please note we do not accept non-Sterling currency standing orders.

 
Why am I being charged? My other bank does not charge me a correspondent bank fee.
There is no change to the fees you currently pay SBO for processing payments on your behalf.
 
What is the process for querying payments?

The process will not change, and all payment investigation charges remain the same.  Please refer to our ‘Charges for banking services’ leaflet for details.

 
Where can I find further information?

It is available on our website in the ‘frequently asked questions’ section at: www.standardbank.com/international
