About BIC / SWIFT codes

A Bank Identifier Code (BIC), also known as a SWIFT code, is an 8 or 11-character code that uniquely identifies a financial institution in the SWIFT network. It is used alongside IBAN numbers to route international wire transfers to the correct bank and branch.

BIC codes are defined by the ISO 9362 standard. An 8-character BIC (without branch) routes to the primary office; an 11-character BIC with XXX suffix is equivalent. Branch-specific BICs use a 3-character suffix other than XXX.
