How to use this tool

  1. Paste or type the SWIFT/BIC you received from a customer or partner.
  2. Review the breakdown of bank, country, location, and branch codes to ensure the structure is valid.
  3. Copy the sanitized code for payment setups or contact the bank if the structure is invalid.

Common tasks

  • Onboard new suppliers by confirming the BIC they provided follows ISO 9362 rules.
  • Pre-validate CSV imports of beneficiary data before uploading to a treasury platform.
  • Educate team members about the difference between bank, country, and branch segments.

Formatting reminders

  • Always remove spaces when storing SWIFT codesβ€”banks expect contiguous characters.
  • 8-character codes identify the primary office. Add the optional 3-character branch code if supplied.
  • Combine with the IBAN validator to verify account numbers end-to-end for SEPA payments.

FAQ

Does a valid format mean the bank exists?
No. This tool checks structure only. Use bank directories or payment network references to confirm active institutions.
Can I look up the bank name automatically?
Not yet. You can search the 4-letter bank code in a SWIFT directory to map it to an institution name.
What about SWIFT codes with lowercase letters?
SWIFT codes are uppercase by standard. The tool normalizes input to uppercase before validation.
