What is a SWIFT/BIC code?
A SWIFT code (also called a BIC) is a unique identifier for banks worldwide. It ensures your money reaches the right bank when you send international transfers.
These codes are used in international wire transfers, SEPA payments, and cross-border transactions. Without them, payments could be delayed or misdirected.
Think of it as the “address” of your bank in the global financial network.
