What Is a BIC/SWIFT Code?
A BIC (Bank Identifier Code) or SWIFT code is an 8 to 11 character international standard (ISO 9362) that uniquely identifies a bank or financial institution for international wire transfers. SWIFT stands for Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication.
The code structure is: AAAA BB CC DDD
- AAAA — Bank code (4 letters) — identifies the bank
- BB — Country code (2 letters) — ISO 3166 country code
- CC — Location code (2 alphanumeric) — city or region
- DDD — Branch code (3 optional alphanumeric) — specific branch
For example, DEUTDEFF breaks down as: DEUT (Deutsche Bank) + DE (Germany) + FF (Frankfurt).

A BIC/SWIFT code is either 8 or 11 characters. 8-character codes identify the bank's main office, while 11-character codes include a specific branch.
Do I need both IBAN and SWIFT code?
