What is a SWIFT code?

A SWIFT/BIC code is a standard format to uniquely identify banks, non-financial, and financial institutions globally. SWIFT codes are a standard format for BIC - Business Identifier Codes.

If you send money internationally you almost always need to use a SWIFT/BIC code, as it’s the way banks, financial institutions and money transfer services identify where to send money on a global scale. 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 opposite side of the world. Similar to how sending a postcard to an incorrect ZIP/postal code means it might get returned, the same thing can apply for your money and an incorrect SWIFT code.

What does a BIC look like?

A BIC/SWIFT 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.

  • 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.
