Transfer money to a bank account with fewer steps and less guesswork. For global businesses, moving money in and out of business accounts quickly is essential. Bancoli is a chartered bank and a fintech in one, so you can get paid and send money from a single dashboard.
This guide explains how to transfer money to a bank account with Bancoli, which payment rails you can use, and what IBAN and SWIFT codes mean when a client or supplier mentions them.
Why Choose Bancoli to Transfer Money?
Modern businesses need simple ways to get paid and to pay others. With Bancoli, you can get paid by:
- ACH
- RTP (Real-Time Payments)
- US domestic wire
- Stablecoins
US clients pay you on your named USD account details. Eligible stablecoins go to your Smart USD Wallet. Smart USD is not a deposit and it is not FDIC-insured.
When it is time to pay others, you can send money by ACH, RTP and local payouts. Bancoli also offers free FX in 25+ currencies, so paying a supplier abroad in their local currency stays simple.
How to Transfer Money to a Bank Account Using Bancoli
To transfer money to a bank account from Bancoli, your business first completes a short onboarding process. Once verified, you can get paid and send money from one place.
Here’s how it works:
1. Sign up and access your dashboard
Opening a Bancoli account is the first step. After signing up with your business email, you’ll get access to your dashboard, where you can manage your profile and begin the verification process.
2. Complete your business verification
This step is required before you can use Bancoli for live transactions. You’ll upload your business details and documents through a guided flow.
Once approved, your account becomes fully operational. You can get paid and transfer money to a bank account from a single dashboard.
3. Start using Bancoli to transfer money
With your verified account, you can:
- Get paid by ACH, RTP, US domestic wire and stablecoins
- Send money to a bank account by ACH, RTP and local payouts
- Use free FX in 25+ currencies when you pay suppliers abroad
For example, a US client can pay your invoice by ACH, and you can later pay a supplier’s bank account in Mexico through a local payout in Mexican pesos. Both steps happen in the same dashboard.
What You Need to Send Money to a Bank Account Abroad
When you transfer money to a bank account in another country, you need a few details to make sure the payment arrives correctly. Whether you’re paying a vendor, contractor or business partner, accuracy matters.
Here’s what to prepare before you send a local payout through Bancoli:
- Recipient details: Full name, business email and billing address.
- Recipient’s bank: Name of the bank, the country and the city where it’s located.
- Bank account info: The account number and the local bank code used in that country. Bancoli shows you the fields required for each destination.
- Amount and currency: Confirm the amount and the currency your recipient expects.
Entering these details correctly helps prevent delays or returned payments.
What Are IBAN and SWIFT/BIC Codes?
You may see two codes on invoices or bank letters from businesses in other countries. Here is what they mean in general:
- IBAN (International Bank Account Number): Identifies a specific bank account in a standard format that includes the country, the bank and the account number. Many countries in Europe and the Middle East use it.
- SWIFT/BIC code: Identifies a bank and its location so that a SWIFT wire reaches the right institution.
Banks use these codes for SWIFT wires. SWIFT wires can take 1 to 5 business days, and intermediary banks may deduct fees along the way, so Bancoli does not encourage them. With Bancoli, you send local payouts instead, using the local bank details for each destination.
How Do IBAN and SWIFT/BIC Codes Work in an International Wire?
In a SWIFT wire, the sending bank uses the SWIFT/BIC code to find the receiving bank and the IBAN to find the exact account. A small typo in either code can delay the payment or send the funds back.
Payments often pass through intermediary banks along the way, and each one can deduct a fee. That is why a local payout, which uses the recipient’s local bank details, is usually the simpler path.
What Should I Know About Transaction Limits?
When you transfer money to a bank account, limits may apply. They can depend on the payment rail, the destination country and the receiving bank’s own policies.
Before you send a large payment, it’s good practice to confirm with your recipient that their bank can receive it. If you have questions about a specific payment, the Bancoli team can help.
Choose the Right Rail for Each Transfer
Each rail fits a different job. Here is a simple way to choose:
- Use ACH for routine US payments that can settle in 1 to 3 business days.
- Use RTP when a US payment needs to arrive in minutes.
- Use US domestic wire when a US client prefers to pay large invoices by wire.
- Use stablecoins when a client wants to pay you in stablecoins into your Smart USD Wallet.
- Use local payouts to pay suppliers and contractors abroad in their local currency.
Example: A marketing agency in Miami gets paid by RTP from a US client, then pays a designer in Colombia through a local payout in Colombian pesos.
This flexibility lets you transfer money to a bank account in the way that works best for each payment, without juggling multiple platforms.
