What is a SWIFT/BIC code?

A SWIFT code (also called a BIC — Bank Identifier Code) is an 8 to 11 character code that uniquely identifies a bank and its branch for international wire transfers. SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, which operates the messaging network used by banks to send payment instructions worldwide.

Every bank that participates in international transfers has a unique SWIFT code. When you send money abroad, your bank uses the recipient's SWIFT code to route the payment to the correct bank and branch. Without the correct code, your transfer may be delayed, sent to the wrong account, or returned.

SWIFT code vs IBAN

A SWIFT code identifies the bank, while an IBAN identifies the specific account. For international transfers, you typically need both — the SWIFT code routes payment to the right bank, and the IBAN ensures it reaches the right account. Some countries (like the US) don't use IBANs and rely on routing numbers instead.

Where to find your SWIFT code

You can find your bank's SWIFT code on your bank statement, in your online banking portal, or by searching our database above. You can also contact your bank directly and ask for their SWIFT/BIC code for receiving international transfers.
