About the data
Source: SWIFT’s BIC-to-LEI mapping table and GLEIF’s LEI records, as of September 25, 2026. It covers institutions with a Legal Entity Identifier, so some codes are missing: a code that isn’t listed may still be valid. GLEIF holds one address per legal entity, shown as the registered address of the institution: it is not the branch’s address, and a branch code isn’t checked against a city. Confirm the receiving branch and payment details with your bank before sending.

A Business Identifier Code (ISO 9362) identifies a bank in international payments. It has 8 or 11 characters: a four-letter institution code, a two-letter country code, a two-character location code and an optional three-character branch code.
It points to the bank's head office. An 8-character code and the same code with XXX added refer to the same office.
No. The address shown is the institution’s registered address, not necessarily the address of the receiving branch. Confirm the branch and payment details with the recipient or their bank.
Not on its own. The checker confirms the structure and the country, then looks the code up in SWIFT's BIC-to-LEI directory, which GLEIF publishes monthly. That directory covers institutions with a Legal Entity Identifier, so a code missing from it may still be valid: ask the recipient's bank if in doubt.
