How to Make International Transfers After the Citi to Axis Bank Migration

The recent merger between Citibank and Axis Bank may leave you wondering about the future of your international money transfers. Rest assured, the process remains straightforward, even with the change. This guide will walk you through the steps, ensuring your money reaches its destination smoothly.

What's Staying the Same?

The good news is that the core process for sending and receiving international funds to your account remains essentially unchanged. Your remitters (those sending you money from abroad) will still use a wire transfer, a common method for international payments.

Key Information for Remitters

To ensure your international transfers go through without a hitch, make sure your remitters have the following details:

  • SWIFT code: AXISINBB
    • This unique code identifies Axis Bank in the global banking system.
  • Your Account Number: This remains the same as your Citibank account number.

They'll need to provide this information to their overseas bank to initiate the wire transfer.

Important Note:

The only change is that your remitters should no longer send money to the old Citibank NOSTRO account. All future inward remittances should be directed to Axis Bank's designated NOSTRO account. (A NOSTRO account is simply a bank's account in a foreign country.)

What to Expect: Timeframes and Fees

  • Processing Time: After the money reaches Axis Bank's NOSTRO account, it usually takes 24-48 hours for it to show up in your personal account, as long as all the necessary documents are in order.
  • Fees: At the moment, there are no changes to the fees for inward wire transfers. If this changes in the future, Axis Bank will communicate it clearly.
