These codes are used when transferring money between banks, particularly international transfers. The code is 8 or 11 characters, made up of:
Where an 8 digit code is given, you may assume that it refers to the primary office. As an example, Deutsche Bank is an international bank; its head office is based in Frankfurt, Germany. Its SWIFT code for its primary office is DEUTDEFF - DEUT identifies Deutsche Bank; DE is the country code for Germany, and FF is the code for Frankfurt. Using an extended code of 11 digits (if the receiving bank has assigned branches or processing areas individual extended codes) allows the payment to be directed to a specific office. For example, DEUTDEFF500 would direct the payment to an office of Deutsche Bank in Bad Homburg. The Society For Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) handles the registration of these codes. For this reason Bank Identifier Codes (BICs) are often called SWIFT addresses or codes. There are over 7,500 "live" codes (for partners actively connected to the BIC network) and an estimated 10,000 additional BIC codes which can be used for Manual Transactions . SEE ALSO
