SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. It is a global messaging network used by financial institutions to securely and accurately send and receive information, such as money transfer instructions, between banks.
A SWIFT code, also known as a Bank Identifier Code (BIC), is a unique alphanumeric code that identifies a specific bank or financial institution within the SWIFT network. When you initiate an international wire transfer or any other cross-border financial transaction, the SWIFT code is used to ensure that the funds are sent to the correct recipient’s bank.
SWIFT codes consist of 8 to 11 characters and are structured as follows:
- The first four letters represent the bank’s name or code (sometimes referred to as the bank code).
- The next two letters represent the country code where the bank is located.
- The last two characters (optional) represent the location code, which can be letters or digits. If there are only 8 characters in the SWIFT code, it means the code refers to the bank’s head office.
For example, a SWIFT code for Citibank’s main office in New York City would be something like “CITIUS33.”
These codes are essential for international financial transactions, as they help banks identify each other and facilitate the secure and efficient movement of money across borders. If you need to perform an international wire transfer or other cross-border transactions, you’ll typically need to provide the recipient’s SWIFT code along with their account details.
