What is a SWIFT/BIC code?

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

If you transmit money internationally 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 a ZIP/postal code. Your bank can use the SWIFT code to find another bank on the other side of the world. Just like sending mail to the wrong ZIP code means it may go missing, the same applies for your money and an incorrect SWIFT code.

What does a SWIFT look like?

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

AAAA BB CC DDD

  • AAAA: 4 character bank code.Just letters, no numbers.
  • 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.
