Format of Vr-bank Isar-vils Swift Code
A bank branch's SWIFT code is a minimum of eight to a maximum of eleven digits alphanumeric, numeric, or alphabetic code.
The Structure is-
G | E | N | O | D | E | Y | Y | Z | Z | Z |
Bank Code | Country ISO Code | Location Code | Branch Code (Optional) |
- If the second character is "0" - then it is typically a test BIC as opposed to a BIC used on the live network.
- If the second character is "1" - then it denotes a passive participant in the SWIFT network
- If the second character is "2," it typically indicates a reverse billing BIC, in which the recipient pays for the message rather than the more common mode, in which the sender pays for the message.
*If the Swift code is an eight-digit code, it is safe to assume that it refers to the primary office.
