Do you still need a BIC?

Inside SEPA, most euro transfers no longer require one: the IBAN alone is enough. You will still be asked for a BIC on many international transfers, older payment forms and some payroll or invoicing systems.

The same thing. BIC is the official name (Business Identifier Code, ISO 9362); SWIFT is the organisation that issues them, so the code is often called a SWIFT code.

Why can’t a BIC be calculated from an IBAN?

An IBAN contains a national bank identifier, not the BIC. The two are linked by directories that each country’s central bank or payments body maintains, which is what this tool looks up.

Branch BICs are listed only where the national registry publishes them — when none are listed, the BICs shown apply to all accounts.
