Invalid swift code

Hello!
Today I created a bank account in local bank in Sofia, Bulgaria. Later in the day I tried to add it to my profile so I can transfer my earnings, but when I typed in the SWIFT code on the first step, I get this error message: "invalid swift code".
In my profile I saw that the transfer to local bank is recommended and because of that I created an accoun to transfer the money in. The account is in USD not in bulgarian currency. 
So, my question is - could the currency be the problem, or there might be another issue with the bank its self. The bank is DSK Bank.

Thank you in advance!
Best reragds,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

 

Your account number should be available on the documents you signed when you opened your bank account and on the associated cards, if available. If you don't have access to your account number you can also contact the bank directly. Please read this help article for more information on how to set up Direct Local Bank payment method, and this help article for more information on bank codes.

Hi Bojan!
Thank you for the fast reply and the links. I checked them and I searched for other information in the forum before I wrote my question.
I have access to the account number via online banking and in fact I tried with copy/paste and typing in manually (as adviced in one of the posts I saw, so I am sure I typed everithing correctly), but with no success.
I will try again later with the same account and I will try with different bank too. If the issue is gone with the different bank I will mark the topic as solved.

Thanks again,
Adrian!

Hi Adrian,

 

Did this get solved? Because I have a similar if not the exact same issue. My bank is in Spain. How did you solve it?

 

Saludos!
