Understanding SWIFT Code / BIC Code
A SWIFT code, also called a BIC code, is used to identify banks and financial institutions worldwide. The term Business Identifier Code (BIC) is used interchangeably with SWIFT code and means the same thing. These codes facilitate money transfers between banks and are needed for international wires and SEPA payments. To make an international money transfer from one bank to another bank, you’ll need a SWIFT/BIC code.
The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), legally S.W.I.F.T. SC, is a Belgian cooperative society providing services related to the execution of financial transactions and payments between banks worldwide. Its principal function is to serve as the main messaging network through which international payments are initiated.
