Usually you can see both SWIFT/BIC and the IBAN number on your internet banking, or by getting in touch with your bank.
IBAN (International Bank Account Number) and SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) are internationally recognized systems used for financial transactions.
IBAN is a standardized format for bank account numbers that is used in many countries around the world. It is designed to enable easy and accurate identification of bank accounts for domestic and international transactions. An IBAN typically consists of a country code, a check digit, a bank code, and an account number, and can vary in length depending on the country.
SWIFT, on the other hand, is a messaging network used by banks and financial institutions to securely communicate and exchange financial information. It provides a standardized way for banks to send and receive payment instructions, such as money transfers, across borders. SWIFT codes, also known as Bank Identifier Codes (BIC), are unique codes that identify banks and financial institutions worldwide, facilitating the routing of transactions through the SWIFT network.
Both IBAN and SWIFT are used to ensure accurate and secure international transactions, and they work in conjunction with each other. The IBAN is used to identify the recipient's bank account, while the SWIFT code is used to identify the recipient's bank or financial institution. When making international payments, both the IBAN and SWIFT code are typically required to ensure that the funds are transferred to the correct account at the correct bank.
