What is a BIC code?

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

If you transmit money across international lines you nearly 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 BIC code to find another bank on the other side of the world. Just like sending mail to an incorrect ZIP code means it could 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:
