IBAN BIC SWIFT

While living abroad you might still use your national bank account. Nowadays with the online banking facilities it becomes easy to set a bank transfer. However you should better know the other parties bank details (BIC and IBAN). More than often people don't know their IBAN or BIC or they don't match.

• IBAN >> BIC: If you have the international bank account number (IBAN) but not the bank identifier (BIC): you can get the BIC with this tool: http://www.ibancalculator.com/bic_and_iban.html?&L=2

• NAT.ACCOUNT NB + BANK CODE >> IBAN: If you have the national account number, the bank code and the country, you can get the IBAN by using this interface: http://www.ibancalculator.com/bic_and_iban.html?&L=2

The swift.com website should allow you to do BANK >> BIC: getting the BIC from the bank name and location: http://www.swift.com/bsl/freequery.do and BIC >> BANK: check if the BIC corresponds to the right bank: http://www.swift.com/bsl/freequery.do.
However it never works for me so try to get the code through a generic websearch. Good Luck!
