What is a SWIFT/BIC code?

A SWIFT code - sometimes called a SWIFT number is a standard format to uniquely identify all banks and financial institutions globally. SWIFT codes are a standard format for BIC - Business Identifier Codes.

If you transfer money internationally you almost 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 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. Like sending post to an incorrect ZIP code means it may get returned, the same applies for your money and an incorrect SWIFT code.
