What is a BIC code?

A SWIFT code - sometimes called a SWIFT number is a standard format to uniquely identify banks, non-financial, and financial institutions across the world. SWIFT codes are a standard format for Business Identifier Codes - commonly referred to as a BIC.

If you transfer money across international lines you almost always need to use a SWIFT code, as it’s the way banks 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/BIC code to find another bank on the opposite side of the world. Similar to how sending a postcard to an incorrect ZIP code means it might get returned, the same goes for your money and the wrong SWIFT code.

What does a BIC look like?

A BIC/SWIFT code can be either 8 or 11 characters long:
