SWIFT - Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication.

Transaction orders are transmitted between members of this network.

Each member is identified with a unique SWIFT/ BIC code.

To this day, SWIFT is the biggest and most efficient tool for international money transfer, with over 11.000 member institutions in over 200 countries, sending over 5 billions financial messages globally every year.

SWIFT works by assigning each member institution a unique ID code that identifies the bank name, country, city, and branch.

For example DSBC Financial Europe BIC code is: DSFE LT 21 XXX

• The first 4 characters represent our institution (DSFE - DSBC Financial Europe).
• The 2 following characters represent the country we are based in (LT - Lithuania).
• The other 2 following characters might be used to represent the location/city or a combination of numbers based on the organization's liking.
• There might be an additional 3 characters, which are the institution’s branches.

Difference between SEPA and SWIFT:

You can become a DSBC Financial Europe's client and gain full benefits from our personal accounts at the age of 16. If you are younger than 16, you would need a legal representative to open the account in their name and take responsibility for you when using our services. 

To open account with us, you would need to finish the identification procedure for the registering process, you would need to provide us with an international personal documentation, ie. a passport or ID card. 

After you finish the registering process with us, you will receive an online payment (DNBCnet) account and you can start using our services from that moment onward. For ease of use in everyday activity, you can order a debit/prepaid card from DNBC which would be sent to you via postal services as quickly as 2 working days.

However after that process, there would be no more paperwork to fill and you can enjoy many benefits like managing your account anywhere, a multi-currency account if you travel a lot and no limits in transferring transactions around the globe (We may need you to prove your identification if you want to transfer a large sum of money). You would essentially receive an international account when you open an account with us.

At this time, with DNBC SWIFT transfer, you can send money from your Euro account to other accounts in any other currencies.

However, when you receive payments in other currencies, the fund will be automatically converted to Euro in your DSBC Financial Europe current account.

You can send and receive international funding via SWIFT and SEPA transfer.

SEPA transfer is used when a transaction is made between countries in the EU/EEA.

SWIFT transfer can be used for transactions between 170 countries and territories around the world, including European countries.

At DNBC, we understand the urgency when you need cash from your account, that's why we provide debit/prepaid cards for easier withdrawal of money, you can do this at any ATMs or cash point approved by Mastercard.

Yes, we provide many current account services including transfer funds to other accounts within or outside the DNBC system. This process will take up different amounts of time depending on the urgency of the transfer, which can reach as quickly as arriving at the same day.

Transfers from a DSBC Financial Europe account to other banks are performed just like at a traditional bank with one distinction, you will go through the whole process online, at your own pace and there is no angry line behind you. You can find this function on our online payment site (DNBCnet) or our mobile apps. 

You would need  the recipient data including the account number and purpose of payment/reference. In the case of transferring money from DSBC Financial Europe to other payment systems, you will have to indicate the client number in the system or other data depending on the payment system. 

However, there are advantages when it comes to using the DNBC network of transfer, we would not limit the amount you transfer or take into account any geographical barrier when transferring and you will benefit from the highest level of protection when transferring online. Users also have 24/7 access to DSBC Financial Europe’s e-payments system to perform and keep track of all transactions.

There is no extra fee associated with your personal current account/ checking account during the time of usage but you would need to have a minimum amount of €240 kept in your account for an ongoing basis for payment of maintenance fees in 1 year. This amount will cover all your services, including a technical hotline if you even encounter any problems. You can use the debit/prepaid card provided at any shop or any foreign shop you like because there would be no geographical limit for our services.

If you transfer money to another account within our DSBC Financial Europe network, there would be no extra fee occurred but if you want to wire transfer to a bank account outside the network, we will charge you according to the speed of your transfer. You can check the full fees in the link below.

However, we will never charge you for checking your account online, so please check your account frequently and let us know any suspicious fees occurred because we will never charge you any hidden fees you wouldn’t know of.

You absolutely can.

However, SEPA's fee for transactions made within the EU/EEA region is better than SWIFT's. It will also take less time for the transaction to go through than when using SWIFT.

You can find the SEPA transfer feature in the "FAST ACCESS" menu of www.dnbcnet.com. Or you can select "Remittance" then select "Transfer to other bank via SEPA".

The short answer is very secure, DSBC Financial Europe ("DNBC") is protected by many layers of encryption and a 24/7 fraud monitoring system, every time you sign in on our DNBCnet, you would need a two-factor authentication code along with your password to ensure only the owner has access to the account.

However, if by secure you mean if DNBC would prevent your funds from being used for other purposes then the answer is also a big yes. DNBC is complied with the Law on Payment in both the EU and the US region, which specifically stated:

• The clients' funds are held only on special bank accounts exclusively for one purpose only, to keep funds of the clients;
• Clients' funds are NOT to be used for the needs of the company, loans or investments;
• Clients' funds cannot be subjected to recovery of debts of the payment institution.

Furthermore, we are a payment institution, licensed by the central bank of Lithuania, which does not allow us to loan money to customers so your funds will stay with us safely waiting for you to use them.
