To send US Dollars back to the UK with transferwise. They have provided me with a Swift Code ending in XXX which ABA Bank says does not exist. However I have searched online and found the wise Bank in the UK Barclays in Churchill Place in London and found their Swift Code and sort code and all the information .would I be safe enough just to use that information to transfer the money? Also there is no space on the ABA app to put in the reference number that wise request you put in is it safe enough to send the money without that reference number? Wise seem to be expletive useless they don't even reply to my queries I have sent them three inquiries asking for proper codes to send the money and they don't even bother replying.

Easiest and cheapest way is to send via PayPal. You can't recieve money into a PayPal account in cambodia but you can send, maybe look into that?

Go into the head office branch and fill out a proper swift form.

I would but Im not in country at this time .

Wise (previously Transferwise) bank is not at Churchill Place, I used to work there for Barclays.

The Wise SWIFT code is definitely: TRWIGB2LXXX

Wise Bank address:
FLOOR 6, TEA BUILDING 56 SHOREDITCH HIGH STREET, LONDON

It is displayed on their own website:

Show the ABA staff this & they should get on with it. Note 'XXX" is a legitimate SWIFT code ending, it usually is reserved for the head office of a bank which might not necessarily be an operational branch though, could be why ABA are nervous.

That said, bank staff would know from the account number/sort code in the UK where is was meant to go & sort it out. I had a similar experience with JTrust recently who asked me to check the SWIFT code (ending XXX) I gave them, I told them to go ahead - money arrived no problemo. That's a problem with many Cambodian banks, a lot of "cannot" and "IT says no"; elsewhere I saw an "NBC says no" response which is a dismal "it isn't our fault, but we have no idea what we're doing" excuse.) /rant
