The IBAN checker finds the bank and BIC behind an IBAN, validates its checksum and shows SEPA Instant and Verification of Payee reachability. Validate thousands by API.

How a SWIFT code is built

A SWIFT code (BIC) has 8 or 11 characters: AAAA bank code, BB ISO country code, CC location code and an optional DDD branch code. XXX or an 8-character code points to the head office. A 0 as the eighth character marks a test BIC.

What is a SWIFT code?

A SWIFT code, also called a BIC, identifies a bank in international payments. It has 8 or 11 characters: a 4-letter bank code, a 2-letter country code, a 2-character location code and an optional 3-character branch code.

What does XXX at the end of a SWIFT code mean?

XXX is the branch part of an 11-character BIC and points to the head office. An 8-character BIC refers to the same head office.

Is a SWIFT code enough to send money to an account?

No. The SWIFT code identifies the bank only. Transfers also need the recipient account number or IBAN, and a correct SWIFT code does not prove that an account exists.

Bank SWIFT code pages

Bank records come from a licensed bank directory mirror and the EPC participant registers. A SWIFT code identifies a bank, not an account, and is not proof that an account exists.
