CIMB Bank Singapore uses CIBBSGSG as its publicly listed SWIFT/BIC for receiving most international telegraphic transfers into CIMB accounts in Singapore. The 11-character version may appear as CIBBSGSGXXX, where “XXX” identifies the primary office. CIMB’s public remittance information also lists bank code 7986, branch code 001, and the Singapore address 30 Raffles Place, #04-01, Singapore 048622. Transfer details should still be checked against CIMB’s official page before money is sent, especially for GBP transfers, business payments, charge options and intermediary bank requirements.

International telegraphic transfers, inward remittance details and bank routing verification
CIMB remittance details
The SWIFT/BIC identifies the bank in the international banking network. The bank code and branch code are separate local routing fields used in Singapore banking forms, GIRO records or account setup screens. For broader local code context, the Singapore bank code list explains how bank and branch codes are commonly used.

What CIBBSGSG Means
CIBB Identifies CIMB Bank Berhad
The first four characters in a SWIFT/BIC identify the bank. In CIBBSGSG, “CIBB” points to CIMB Bank Berhad.
SG Identifies Singapore
The next two characters show the country. “SG” is the ISO country code for Singapore.
SG Is the Location Code
The final two characters in the 8-character code are the location code used in the SWIFT/BIC structure.
XXX May Appear in 11-Character BICs
Some bank forms request 11 characters. In that case, CIBBSGSGXXX is commonly used for the primary office format.
Do not mix up the SWIFT bank identifier “CIBB” with the Singapore local bank code 7986. They are separate routing systems used for different payment contexts.
SWIFT Code vs Bank Code vs Branch Code
| Code Type | CIMB Singapore Value | Main Use | What to Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| SWIFT / BIC | CIBBSGSG or CIBBSGSGXXX | International bank-to-bank transfer routing. | Confirm the code with CIMB and the sending bank before sending funds. |
| Bank Code | 7986 | Singapore local banking forms and selected payment setup records. | Confirm whether the form needs a local bank code or a SWIFT/BIC. |
| Branch Code | 001 | Local branch routing field for Singapore banking records. | Do not assume the account number already contains the branch code unless the bank form states it. |
| Account Number | Provided by account holder | Identifies the beneficiary account inside CIMB after bank routing. | Match the account number with the beneficiary name in CIMB’s records. |
For cross-bank reference, the major Singapore SWIFT codes page helps compare CIMB’s code with other banks used in Singapore transfers.
When to Use the CIMB Singapore SWIFT Code
Receiving Overseas Telegraphic Transfers
Use CIMB’s SWIFT/BIC when funds are being sent from an overseas bank to a CIMB Singapore account. The sender should also enter the beneficiary’s full account name and account number exactly as recorded with CIMB.
Receiving GBP Transfers
CIMB publishes separate GBP inward transfer instructions that include an intermediary bank and sort code. GBP transfers should not be treated the same as ordinary non-GBP inward transfer instructions.
Local Singapore Transfers
For local SGD transfers, the sending channel may use bank code, branch code, FAST, GIRO or PayNow details instead of a SWIFT/BIC. The payment screen should guide which field is needed.
Charges and Intermediary Banks
Cross-border transfers may involve cable charges, agent bank charges, FX spreads or sender-selected charge options. Fee treatment depends on the sending bank, currency and transfer route.
For local transfer context, compare CIMB’s SWIFT details with FAST transfers in Singapore and PayNow setup in Singapore before choosing a payment method.
What to Check Before Sending Money to CIMB Singapore
Match the Beneficiary Name
Use the recipient’s full account name as recorded with CIMB. Name mismatch can delay review or require manual checking.
Check the Account Number
The SWIFT/BIC routes funds to CIMB as a bank. The account number routes the funds to the beneficiary account inside CIMB.
Confirm the Currency Instructions
GBP transfers may need extra intermediary bank details. Other currencies may follow the standard CIMB SWIFT/BIC instructions unless CIMB or the sending bank states otherwise.
Review Charge Options
Sending banks may show charge options such as shared charges or sender-paid charges. The final credited amount can differ after bank fees and FX conversion.
For cost context across common routes, the international transfer fees page explains the difference between transfer fees, FX markup and intermediary bank charges.
Fees, Timing and Transfer Notes
| Item | What It Means | User Check |
|---|---|---|
| Telegraphic Transfer Fee | A bank handling fee may apply depending on whether the transfer is inward or outward and whether it is personal or business banking. | Check CIMB’s latest remittance fee page before sending or receiving funds. |
| Cable Charge | Some cross-border transfers include a separate cable or message charge. | Review the sending bank’s fee screen and CIMB’s published charges. |
| Agent Bank Fee | An intermediary bank may deduct fees before funds reach the beneficiary bank. | Ask the sending bank whether an agent bank or charge option applies. |
| FX Conversion | If the transfer currency differs from the account currency, conversion may occur at the applicable exchange rate. | Confirm currency, conversion timing and credited currency before sending. |
Transfer fees, intermediary charges, FX rates and processing times can change. Do not rely on old screenshots, saved templates or third-party code pages when transferring money.
CIMB Singapore Banking Context
CIMB Bank Berhad operates in Singapore as part of CIMB Group’s regional banking network. For banking services, account access and branch-related information, use the CIMB Bank Singapore profile together with the bank’s official pages. Customers who need in-person support can also check CIMB Singapore branches before visiting, since service availability and opening hours may change.
Personal Transfers
Personal customers usually need SWIFT/BIC, beneficiary name, account number and bank address for overseas inward transfers.
Business Transfers
Business transfers may require invoices, payment references, charge instructions and extra checks from the sending bank.
Local Payment Alternatives
For domestic SGD payments, FAST, GIRO or PayNow may be more suitable than a SWIFT transfer, depending on the sender’s channel and recipient details.
Verification Notes
The CIMB SWIFT/BIC, bank code, branch code, address and GBP inward transfer instructions should be verified on CIMB Singapore’s official remittance page before any payment is made. The Monetary Authority of Singapore’s financial institutions directory can also be used to confirm CIMB Bank Berhad’s regulated Singapore presence and public contact record.
Third-party SWIFT lookup pages can be useful for a second check, but official bank instructions should take priority for live transfer details, fees, intermediary bank instructions and beneficiary requirements.
