What is a SWIFT/BIC code?

A SWIFT code (also known as BIC Code) is a standard format to uniquely identify all banks and financial institutions globally. SWIFT codes are a standard format for BIC - Business Identifier Codes.

If you send money internationally you nearly always need to use a SWIFT code, as it’s the way banks, financial institutions and money transfer services figure out where the money needs to go. You can think of a SWIFT code a bit like a ZIP/postal code. Your bank uses the code to send the money to the right bank in another country. Similar to how sending a postcard to the wrong ZIP code means it may get lost, the same applies for your money and the wrong SWIFT code.

What does a BIC look like?

A SWIFT/BIC code is either 8 or 11 characters in length:

AAAA BB CC DDD

  • AAAA: 4 character bank code.This section can only be A-Z letters.
  • BB: 2 character country code. ISO alpha-2 country code.
  • CC: 2 character location code.
  • DDD: 3 character branch code. Optional. Can include letters or digits. An XXX here would refer to the primary office.
