Frequently Asked Questions

What is a SWIFT/BIC code and why do I need one for United Kingdom?

A SWIFT/BIC code is a unique identifier for a bank on the SWIFT global messaging network. When sending an international wire transfer to a bank in United Kingdom, you must include the recipient bank's SWIFT/BIC code so the payment is routed correctly. Without it, most banks will reject the transfer.

How many characters is a United Kingdom SWIFT code?

SWIFT/BIC codes are either 8 or 11 characters long. The first 4 characters identify the bank, the next 2 identify the country (e.g. GB for United Kingdom), and the final 2–5 characters identify the location and optional branch. An 8-character BIC refers to the bank's head office.

How can I track my SWIFT payment to United Kingdom?

Once your bank sends the wire, it gets a 36-character UETR tracking code (on your MT103 receipt, field 121). Paste it into Ohmyfin's free SWIFT tracker to see the live GPI status — no login needed, results in seconds.
