❓ What is a SWIFT Code? (FAQ)
A SWIFT code (also known as a BIC code) is a standard format of Bank Identifier Code used globally to identify specific banks and branches when sending or receiving international wire transfers.

A: A SWIFT code can be either 8 or 11 characters. An 8-digit code refers to the primary office of a bank, while an 11-digit code specifies a particular branch.
