What’s a SWIFT Code?

A SWIFT Code, which is also sometimes called a BIC or Bank Identifier Code, is a string of characters used to identify a specific bank or financial institution anywhere in the world. It’s useful for international transfers because it contains everything you need to identify a specific bank, or even a specific branch, to ensure money is sent to the right place. Any time you send or receive an international transfer, you’ll probably need the correct SWIFT/BIC.

A SWIFT code is 8-11 characters, formatted like this: AAAABBCCDDD.

AAAA: Bank code

BB: Country code

CC: Location code

DDD: Optional branch code

What’s the difference between a SWIFT code, a BIC, an IBAN and a routing number?

SWIFT/BIC codes both are used to identify banks and financial institutions worldwide. A routing number is similar, but only identifies banks and financial institutions in the US. An IBAN (or International Bank Account Number) is totally different. It identifies a specific bank account, not the bank as a whole, and it’s only used in the EU, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Hungary.

Do SWIFT codes change from branch to branch?

SWIFT/BIC codes can vary by branch, so use this tool to look up the correct SWIFT code for your Corporations Bank branch. You can also just use the general SWIFT code, which works for all Corporations Bank branches if you’re not sure.
