What is a SWIFT code?

A SWIFT code - also known as a SWIFT number is a standard format to uniquely identify banks and financial institutions globally. SWIFT codes are a standard format for Business Identifier Codes - commonly referred to as a BIC.

If you transfer money across international lines you nearly always need to use a SWIFT/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 SWIFT code a bit like an international postal code. Your bank can use the SWIFT/BIC code to find another bank on the other side of the world. Like sending post to an incorrect ZIP code means it may go missing, the same goes for your money and the wrong SWIFT code.
