What is a SWIFT code?

A SWIFT code - sometimes called a SWIFT number is a standard format to uniquely identify banks and financial institutions across the world. The SWIFT code is a standard format for BIC - Business Identifier Codes.

If you send money internationally you almost always need to use a 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 an international postal code. Your bank can use the SWIFT/BIC code to find another bank on the opposite side of the world. Like sending post to an incorrect ZIP/postal code means it may get returned, the same applies for your money and an incorrect SWIFT code.
