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.

Location code 0-9 A-Z: 2 characters made up of letters or numbers. It says where that bank&#x27;s head office is. Branch Code 0-9 A-Z: 3 digits specifying a particular branch. &#x27;XXX&#x27; represents the bank&#x27;s head office.
