What is a Bank Identification Code (BIC) Number?
A Bank Identifier Code (BIC) is an international standard for uniquely identifying banks worldwide. It is also known as a SWIFT address. A BIC consists of a combination of letters and numbers, either 8 or 11 characters. It identifies the bank’s name, its country and the address of the branch. When entering the beneficiary’s bank, if you have been provided with its BIC, please insert it in the ‘Beneficiary Bank SWIFT / BIC Code’ field. If you do not know the BIC, you need to insert the full name of the beneficiary’s bank, its full street address and its country in the relevant fields.
