A SWIFT code, also known as a SWIFT/BIC code or SWIFT identifier, is a unique alphanumeric code used in the world of international finance and banking. The term "SWIFT" stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, the organization that developed and manages this system. SWIFT codes are used to identify specific financial institutions and ensure secure and standardized communication for international financial transactions, particularly when transferring money between banks in different countries.
The SWIFT code typically consists of either 8 or 11 characters and provides the following information:
-
Bank Code (4 characters): The first four characters represent the bank or financial institution where an account is held.
-
Country Code (2 characters): The next two characters represent the country where the bank is located.
-
Location Code (2 characters): Following the country code, there are two characters representing the location or city of the primary office bank
-
Branch Code (optional, 3 characters): In some cases, an additional three characters are used to specify a specific branch or department of the bank. This part is optional.
SWIFT codes are crucial for international wire transfers, allowing banks to identify each other and route payments accurately. They are also used for other financial messages, such as verifying the authenticity of messages and instructions related to various banking and financial operations.
