Ukraine bank code guide

When to use Six-digit MFO bank code, what to request from the bank, and how to interpret directory results.

Domestic payments

Obtain the recipient’s IBAN and bank instructions, including MFO where the payment form requires it.

International payments

Follow the beneficiary bank’s currency-specific IBAN, SWIFT/BIC and correspondent instructions.

Important distinctions

Our bank-level NBU import includes records marked normal status and excludes liquidation records.
The NBU foreign-correspondent register is a different dataset from domestic MFO bank records.
The informational API is not itself the State Register of Banks. Confirm status and instructions with the bank.

How to find and confirm the identifier

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