What is a Swift Code

A swift code is a standard format of Bank Identifier Codes (BIC) and every banking institution has it’s own unique identification code.

Another secret you should note, is that the swift code consists of 8 or 11 characters. When 8-digits code is given, it refers to the primary office. The code formatted is as shown below;

    First 4 characters – bank code (only letters)
    Next 2 characters – ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (only letters)
    Next 2 characters – location code (letters and digits) (passive participant will have “1” in the second character)
    Last 3 characters – branch code, optional (‘XXX’ for primary office) (letters and digits)

As at the time of writing and compiling this article, there are over 40,000 “live” Swift codes which financial institutions used in operation.

These “live” codes are for the partners who are actively connected to the Swift network. While on top of that, there are more than 50,000 additional codes, which are mostly used for manual transactions.

Another important note here is that these additional codes are for the passive participants.

These swift codes are registered and are handled by Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) and their headquarters is located in La Hulpe, Belgium.

While the SWIFT is also a registered trademarks of S.W.I.F.T. SCRL with a registered address at Avenue Adèle 1, B-1310 La Hulpe, Belgium.
