Sri Lanka bank code guide

Domestic payments

Obtain the bank code and three-digit branch code supplied for the recipient account.

International payments

Use the receiving bank’s SWIFT/BIC and inward-remittance instructions.

Important distinctions

• Our saved bank/branch source is historical and can contain old names or closed branches.
• The combined identifier shown here preserves the separate bank and branch components when supplied.
• Verify the current code with the bank or current national payment-system reference.

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.
