What is a BIC 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 nearly always need to use a 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 SWIFT/BIC code a bit like a ZIP/postal code. A bank on one side of the world finds the right bank on the other side of the world. Just like sending mail to the wrong ZIP/postal code means it may get returned, the same goes for your money and an incorrect SWIFT code.

What does a SWIFT/BIC look like?

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

AAAA BB CC DDD

  • AAAA: 4 character bank code. Only letters.
  • 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.
