When to use MFI identifier / account-number prefix, what to request from the bank, and how to interpret directory results.

Home / Tools / Finland bank code guide

Domestic payments

Use the recipient’s Finnish IBAN for the payment. The MFI identifier helps identify the institution within the national account-number structure.

International payments

Use the receiving bank’s IBAN and any BIC instructions requested by the sending bank.

Important distinctions

How to find and confirm the identifier

  1. Ask the recipient to obtain payment instructions from their bank’s official app, statement or website.
  2. Match the country, identifier type and institution. Keep leading zeros and do not substitute a different code type.
  3. For a changed bank or branch, verify the replacement instructions directly with the bank. A similar name is not enough.
