From one of my family members: if the bank transaction doesn't go through, and you call the bank and they tell you it's probably a scam, don't overrule them.

The first two letters are the country code and if this is supposed to be an organization/institution in your country then those should match most transactions you've done before. Don't be fooled just because the country code letter combination happens to also be the initialism of something else or a state/city/etc involved. I've had an accountant fall for a company registration scam and while the letterhead was plausible, the bank account was in an entirely different country, which should have given pause.
