SWIFT/BIC codes follow a standard format, so we can verify if yours is valid and explain what each part means.

A SWIFT code (which is also known as a BIC code) is a unique identifier used by financial institutions in international money transfers. The code ensures that the funds are sent to the correct institution and account.
A SWIFT code is a way to ensure that all cross-border transfers are routed to the correct account and institution. Anyone wanting to send money internationally will need the SWIFT code of the recipient’s financial institution. If someone wants to make a transfer to you from abroad, you will need to provide them with your financial institution’s SWIFT code.
A SWIFT code is composed of 8-11 characters. The code identifies the country, city, financial institution and branch.
