What’s a SWIFT Code?

A SWIFT code sometimes called a Bank Identifier Code, BIC or SWIFT/BIC, is an international bank code that can identify one specific bank or financial institution anywhere in the world. The code contains all the information you need to pinpoint any bank or financial institution, or even a specific branch of that bank or financial institution.

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 are used globally and identify specific banks. But there are some other codes you might see come up when you make international transfers. An IBAN, or International Bank Account Number, isn’t a global code — it’s only used in EU plus Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Hungary. Also, it just identifies individual accounts, not banks. Routing numbers are similar to SWIFT codes because they also identify banks and financial institutions; however, they’re only used in the US, unlike SWIFT/BIC codes, which are worldwide.

Do SWIFT codes change from branch to branch?

SWIFT codes do change from branch to branch, so use this tool to look up the correct SWIFT code for your United Bank Limited branch. If you’re not sure which branch is the one you’re looking for, just use the general code, because that will work for every branch in Pakistan.
