What is a Brazilian bank number or bank code?
A Brazilian bank number - numero do banco or código do banco in Portuguese - is a 3 digit code used when sending a payment from one bank account to another. These codes are standardized and agreed among all banks in Brazil, to help the sending bank or third party provider identify the correct institution to get the money to.
Bank numbers like these are one of the ways banks and other third party providers make sure your transfer arrives quickly, safely, and into the correct account.
What is an ISPB code?
ISPB stands for Identificador do Sistema de Pagamento Brasileiro - the Brazilian Payment System Identifier. ISPB codes are 8 digits long and - like the código do banco - help to guide a payment to the correct bank.
ISPB codes are not always needed when sending a payment to Brazil, as the 3 digit bank code is more commonly used. In some cases you may be given the option to enter either the bank code or the ISPB when arranging a payment.
The downside of international transfers with your bank
When you send or receive an international wire with your bank, you might lose money on a bad exchange rate and pay hidden fees as a result. That’s because the banks still use an old system to exchange money. We recommend you use Wise, which is usually much cheaper. With their smart technology:
- You get a great exchange rate and a low, upfront fee every time.
- You move your money as fast as the banks, and often faster – some currencies go through in minutes.
- Your money is protected with bank-level security.
- You join over 2 million customers who transfer in 47 currencies across 70 countries.
