{0} SWIFT code {1}

A SWIFT code — sometimes also called a SWIFT number — is a standard format for Business Identifier Codes (BIC). Banks and financial institutions use them to identify themselves globally. It says who and where they are — a sort of international bank code or ID.

These codes are used when transferring money between banks, particularly for <a>international money transfers</a> or SEPA payments. Banks also use these codes to exchange messages between each other.

So what do these letters and numbers mean?

If you ask your bank to send money to a SWIFT code that doesn’t exist, they should reverse the payment and return your money. But this might take some time, and your bank may charge you a fee. So use our SWIFT code checker above to confirm that your SWIFT code exists and is in the right format.

What if the SWIFT code exists, but it’s the wrong one, and so you’ve sent money to the wrong place? This is a tricky situation and that’s why it’s important to always confirm the details with the recipient before you send money. If you realise you’ve sent money to the wrong SWIFT code, get in touch with your bank as soon as you can.

What happens if you enter the wrong number?

Enter a SWIFT/BIC to check it's correct and to find out which bank it belongs to.

A cheaper, faster way to send money abroad

SWIFT codes are typically long, and it’s easy to make a mistake when typing them character by character. Try to copy and paste when you can.

Typing mistakes

When sending money online, you should always use the digital format. Some banks will reject your transfer if you use the print format, with spaces between the characters.

Incorrect formats

Banks will sometimes ask for more details. It’s important you enter these details correctly, or your transfer could be rejected — even if the SWIFT is valid.

Recipient details

Common mistakes to look out for

When sending or receiving money, always check the SWIFT code with your recipient or bank.

If you think you've used the wrong SWIFT code to send money, you should get in contact with your bank right away. They may be able to cancel the transaction. If it's too late to cancel, you might have to contact the recipient yourself and request that they return your money.
