SWIFT Code is the unique and standard format of Bank Identifier Codes (BIC). Every bank has its own SWIFT Code all over the world. These are used when exchanging messages and transferring money between banks, particularly for international wire transfers. In short, A SWIFT code is a code used to identify the country, bank and branch (sometimes location also) that an account is registered to.

SWIFT codes comprise 8 or 11 characters. 8 digit codes refer to the head or primary office and 11 digit codes refer to a specific branch of a bank. SWIFT codes are formatted as follows:
First 4 characters – bank code (letters only)
5th & 6th characters – country code (letters only)
7th & 8th characters – location code (letters or numbers)
Last 3 characters – branch code (letters or numbers), it’s optional. Also use ‘XXX’ for head or primary office.

Here is an example of real Sweft Code: DBBLBDDH147. Now explain it. Here DBBL is the code of Dutch-Bangla Bank Limited, BD stands for Bangladesh, DH for Dhaka and 147 is the code of Bashundhara Branch.
