What is a SWIFT Code (BIC Code)?

A SWIFT code (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) or BIC (Business Identifier Code) is an 8 or 11-character alphanumeric code used globally to identify banks and financial institutions during international wire transfers and foreign money remittances.

What SWIFT code should I use if my bank branch does not have one?

In India, individual retail branches do not need their own unique SWIFT code. You should use the bank's Central Head Office SWIFT Code (or regional Forex branch code) along with your individual branch IFSC code and your bank account number. The receiving bank will convert the currency and route it directly into your local account.

Understanding SWIFT / BIC Codes in India

The SWIFT Code (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) or BIC Code (Business Identifier Code) is an internationally recognized 8 or 11-character identifier assigned to banks and financial institutions worldwide. While Indian domestic transactions utilize the 11-digit IFSC code (for NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, and UPI), any cross-border financial transfer entering or exiting India requires an authorized SWIFT code.

Bank Code (4 Characters)

The first 4 letters represent the financial institution (e.g. SBIN for State Bank of India, HDFC for HDFC Bank, ICIC for ICICI Bank).

Country & Location (4 Characters)

The next 2 characters are always IN for India, followed by 2 alphanumeric characters identifying the city/region (e.g. BB for Mumbai, DD for Delhi).

Branch Code (3 Characters)

The optional final 3 characters identify a specific dealing unit. When omitted or marked as XXX, it refers to the primary Head Office.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What should I do if my local bank branch does not have its own SWIFT Code?

In India, over 95% of individual retail branches do not have their own unique SWIFT code issued by SWIFT. You should use the bank's Central Head Office SWIFT Code (e.g. SBININBBXXX for SBI) or your circle's authorized Forex branch SWIFT code. The sending bank abroad will route funds to India using this SWIFT code, and the central clearing system will credit your exact account using your branch's IFSC Code.

2. What is the difference between SWIFT Code, IFSC Code, and MICR Code?

- IFSC Code (11 digits): Used for domestic electronic transfers inside India (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, UPI).
- MICR Code (9 digits): Used for automated clearing and physical cheque processing.
- SWIFT / BIC Code (8 or 11 characters): Used for cross-border international remittances from foreign countries into India.

3. What information does an overseas sender need to wire money to my account in India?

The sender will need your Full Name (as per your bank records), your Bank Account Number, your Bank's SWIFT / BIC Code, your Branch's IFSC Code, and the Bank Name and City.
