If you think you've used the wrong SWIFT code to send money, you should get in contact with your bank right away. They may be able to cancel the transaction. If it's too late to cancel, you might have to contact the recipient yourself and request that they return your money.
It depends on the country you're sending money to. In the Eurozone, you'll always need an IBAN and a SWIFT/BIC code. Banks in the USA use SWIFT codes, but they don't use IBANs. It's the same in New Zealand too. More on IBAN numbers.

Outlook
Cembra currently expects to deliver a resilient business performance in 2023 with net revenues at least in line with GDP growth, a continued solid loss performance, and a stable cost/income ratio for 2023 compared to the 2022 financial year. The return on equity is expected to come in at the lower end of the targeted range of 13-14% due to the time lag of the implemented repricing of new business and some shifts in the realisation of benefits from the strategic initiatives which also means that the ROE target of 15% for 2024 is expected to be challenging. The company maintains its financial targets until 2026; including a dividend of at least CHF 3.95 for 2023 and growing thereafter based on earnings growth.1

While the broader market lost about 0.2% in the twelve months, Cembra Money Bank shareholders did even worse, losing 7.5% (even including dividends). However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 0.5% per year over half a decade. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. Keeping this in mind, a solid next step might be to take a look at Cembra Money Bank's dividend track record. This free interactive graph is a great place to start.
General Electric is selling GE Money Bank as part of a $200 billion strategic divestment of non-core financial holdings. The US group has already successfully disposed of one of its main bank assets in central and eastern Europe (CEE), having sold Budapest Bank to the Hungarian government for $700 million last year, while it is also set to sell BPH Bank to fellow Polish lender Alior Bank.
Other selling points will include the recent strong performance of both the Czech Republic and its banks, says Spurny. Last year, the Czech economy was among the fastest-growing in the EU, expanding by 4.2%, while banking sector return on equity has topped 15% for the last six years.
