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