Checks the structure only — it can't confirm which bank a code belongs to. Always confirm payment details with the recipient.

How to use the SWIFT / BIC Code Checker

  1. Enter the 8- or 11-character code.
  2. See whether the format is valid.
  3. Read the bank, country, location and branch parts.

What does this tool do?

SWIFT/BIC codes identify banks in international transfers. The first four letters are the bank, the next two the country, then two characters for the location and an optional three-character branch code.

Codes ending in XXX refer to the head office. A 0 in the second location character marks a test code.

Why use it?

  • Decodes each part.
  • Flags test codes.
  • Country names included.

Accuracy and limits

  • This checks structure only — it can't confirm which bank owns a code.
