Documentation

Definition

SWIFT provides a BIC+ file which contains a directory of all existing banks with a SWIFT code. Each bank is assigned a number, known as the BIC+key. This BIC+ key is the only attribute of a bank that does not change and can thus be used to identify a bank.

A BIC+ key consists of 3 parts:

  1. 4-characters, alphanumeric: constant 'BCPL'
  2. 2-characters, alphanumeric: country key
  3. 6-characters, numeric: numeric code (consecutive number).
