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.

Banks also use these codes to exchange messages between each other.

A SWIFT/BIC is an 8-11 character code that identifies your country, city, bank, and branch. Bank code A-Z: 4 letters representing the bank.
