Making Payments

Making payments is a critical activity for your business. Our Merchant Services provide comprehensive facilities to streamline your payment process and help you maximize your cash flow.

MCB provides you with a range of options from local payments to international payments.

Local payments

Along with cash, cheques are the most commonly used method for businesses to make purchases and settle bills.

International payments

Transfer funds abroad in a matter of minutes in a safe and convenient manner. We can provide you with express or normal international payments, all options designed to match the urgency of payments made to overseas beneficiaries.

Two types of payments are available:
  • Bank draft
  • Electronic transfer (SWIFT)

These transactions are effected in recognized currencies. If you opt for a swift transfer, here's what MCB needs:
  • Beneficiary's name and account number
  • Beneficiary's Bank name and detailed address
  • Beneficiary's 'Bank Identification Code' (BIC) and/or 'Sorting Code'
