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. SWIFT codes are a standard format for Business Identifier Codes - commonly referred to as a BIC.

If you send money across international lines you almost always need to use a SWIFT/BIC 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 can use the BIC code to find another bank on the other side of the world. Just like sending mail to the wrong ZIP/postal code means it could get lost or returned, the same applies for your money and the wrong SWIFT code.

What does a SWIFT/BIC look like?
