TVBABHBM XXX

A SWIFT code is a unique identifier used to recognize banks and financial institutions around the world for international money transfers. SWIFT stands for Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. These codes help ensure that payments are routed to the correct bank and country. A typical SWIFT code is either 8 or 11 characters long and includes information about the bank, country, location, and sometimes a specific branch.

Not always. Some banks use a single SWIFT code (usually the head office code ending in XXX) for all branches. Others assign unique SWIFT codes to individual branches, often with specific last three characters. If the recipient provides a branch-specific code, it’s best to use it—it may help speed up processing or ensure the payment reaches the correct location faster.

It identifies the recipient’s bank and branch, especially when sending funds across borders via the SWIFT network.
