SWIFT Codes: Your Guide to International Money Transfers in South Africa
Are you sending or receiving money internationally from South Africa ? 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.
