What is a BIC code?

A SWIFT code - sometimes called a SWIFT number is a standard format to uniquely identify banks and financial institutions across the world. The SWIFT code is a standard format for BIC - Business Identifier Codes.

If you transfer 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/BIC code a bit like a ZIP/postal code. Your bank uses the code to send the money to the right bank in another country. Just like sending mail to an incorrect ZIP/postal code means it could get returned, the same applies for your money and the wrong SWIFT code.
