What is a BIC code?

A SWIFT/BIC code is a standard format to uniquely identify banks and financial institutions across the world. The SWIFT code is a standard format for Business Identifier Codes (BIC).

If you send money across international lines you nearly always need to use a SWIFT code, as it’s the way banks and money transfer services figure out where the money needs to go. You can think of a SWIFT/BIC code a bit like an international postal code. A bank on one side of the world finds the right bank on the other side of the world. Like sending post to an incorrect ZIP/postal code means it might get lost, the same goes for your money and the wrong SWIFT code.

What does a BIC look like?

A SWIFT code can be either 8 or 11 characters long:

AAAA BB CC DDD

  • AAAA: 4 character bank code. Only letters.
  • BB: 2 character country code. ISO alpha-2 country code.
  • CC: 2 character location code.
  • DDD: 3 character branch code. This is optional and can be letters or digits. An XXX here would refer to the primary office.
