What is a BIC code?

A SWIFT code - sometimes called a SWIFT number is a standard format to uniquely identify banks, non-financial, and financial institutions across the world. The SWIFT code is a standard format for Business Identifier Codes - commonly referred to as a BIC.

If you transmit money internationally you almost always need to use a BIC code, as it’s the way banks and money transfer services figure out where the money needs to go. You can think of a BIC code a bit like an international postal code. Your bank can use the SWIFT code to find another bank on the other side of the world. Like sending post to an incorrect ZIP code means it may get returned, the same applies for your money and an incorrect SWIFT code.
