Definition

A bank is identified in the system by a unique combination of a <bank ID and bank ID type>.
The bank ID type describes the type of key used to identify the bank, for example 'S.W.I.F.T. code'.
The 'Bank ID' field contains the key itself.

In domestic payment transactions, the country-specific key for the country in question is usually used. In international payment transactions, the S.W.I.F.T. code or another internationally-recognized code is used.
In cases where further distinction is necessary, you can use the bank country as an extra identifier.
