SWIFT codes

A SWIFT code or BIC (Bank Identifier Code) is required for any wire transfer between banks located in different countries.

The best way to find out the code is to call the bank and ask them for the SWIFT code or BIC code. If the bank does not understand, tell them you need to receive an international wire transfer and need the SWIFT code of the bank.

The SWIFT code is 8 or 11 digits and contains letters and numbers.
