SWIFT Codes: Your Guide to International Money Transfers in Kenya

Are you sending or receiving money internationally from Kenya ? Understanding SWIFT codes is essential for ensuring your transactions are accurate and efficient.

A SWIFT code, also known as a BIC (Bank Identifier Code), is a unique identifier for banks and branches worldwide. It's used to route international wire transfers and messages.

How SWIFT Codes Work:

Identification: SWIFT codes pinpoint specific banks and branches, ensuring your funds reach the correct destination.
International Transfers: Banks use these codes to process international money transfers seamlessly.
Format: SWIFT codes consist of 8 or 11 characters. An 11-digit code specifies a branch, while an 8-digit code (or one ending in 'XXX') represents the bank's head office.

SWIFT Code Registration:

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) manages SWIFT code registrations.
