International swife transfer help!

[leslie888]

I did an international swift transfer to China today to my supplier, after I transferred the funds supplier told me he has recently changed his bank card (in china once bank card changed , account number will be changed too) , money left my UK account already, I am worrying he will not receive the money, I rang bank in the uk they said just wait and see. it may be returned it may be go to his new account automatically, has anyone had the same problem before? all other information is correct, bank address, bank swift code. just the account number was the old one, thanks

Normally they will connect the old account to the new one, if not and no one claim it, they will return it to your bank account finally.

IT will likely be returned if the account is indeed closed - fees may be applied.
