SWIFT Code Standard
In international money transfers, specific banks and branches are identified using SWIFT/BIC codes, ensuring that your money reaches its intended destination. Banks process international wire transfers and messages using these codes.
SWIFT codes are always 8 or 11 characters long. An 8-digit code (or one ending in “XXX”) designates the bank’s main office, while an 11-digit code designates a specific branch. The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication handles SWIFT code registrations (SWIFT). BIC, or bank identifier code, is frequently used interchangeably with the term SWIFT.
SWIFT code, BIC code, SWIFT ID or SWIFT – BIC (ISO 9362) is a standard format of Business Identifier Codes approved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is a unique identification code for both financial and non-financial institutions. The acronym SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. When assigned to a non-financial institution, the code may also be known as a Business Entity Identifier or BEI. These codes are used when transferring money between banks, particularly for international wire transfers, and also for the exchange of other messages between banks. The codes can sometimes be found on account statements.
