At 16.49 this afternoon, a company I cooperate with transferred a sum of 150,000 to me using the public account number of China CITIC Bank?

Based on the information you provided, regarding the issue of your cooperative company using the CITIC Bank corporate account number to transfer money to you, the following is my analysis and answer:

1. The issue of account number digits

Generally speaking, CITIC Bank’s corporate account number may be 19 digits, but this is not absolute, because different banks, different regions and even different business types may have different account lengths. Therefore, the authenticity of the account cannot be judged simply by its length.

You mentioned that your account number on the screenshot provided by the other party only has 16 digits, but your actual account number is 19 digits. There may be several situations: first, the screenshot may be partially hidden or truncated; second, the bank system may adjust the display of certain fields when processing the transfer; third, there may be misunderstandings or operational errors.

2. Regarding the authenticity of the transfer

The other company provided a screenshot of the special stamp of the receipt, which is a positive proof that they indeed carried out the transfer operation. However, the screenshot itself does not fully prove the authenticity of the transfer, because screenshots can be forged.

You have communicated with the other company's financial department and they said this is normal. This is a positive sign, but further verification is still needed.

3. Recommended verification steps

Log in to your bank account and check whether there is a transfer record of the 150,000 yuan. This is the most direct verification method.

If you do not receive the transfer, it is recommended to communicate with the other company again to confirm the specific circumstances and reasons for the transfer. At the same time, you can also contact CITIC Bank customer service for consultation and verification.

If the other company has indeed transferred the money but you have not received the money, it may be due to bank processing time, system delays or other reasons. At this time, you can wait for a period of time (such as 24 hours) and then check the account status again.

In summary, although there are differences in the number of account numbers, this does not necessarily mean that the transfer is fake. In order to confirm the authenticity of the transfer, it is recommended that you follow the above suggestions for verification. At the same time, maintain communication with the other company and bank to understand the situation and solve the problem in a timely manner.
