The SWIFT/BIC code for HSBC UK BANK PLC is HBUKGB4BXXX. However, HSBC Bank uses different SWIFT/BIC codes for the different types of banking services it offers.

The SWIFT code can be found on a bank’s website, on your bank statement, or through an online search. Make sure you copy down the correct characters when recording a SWIFT code, and check that it has 8 or 11 characters. The first 4 characters stand for the bank to which money is being transferred.

Most banks in the European Union are using an IBAN code to facilitate international payment orders. For ODM, Hong Kong does not use IBAN numbers, so clients should give banks our account number, bank name and swift number for HSBC. Money can be transferred easily.

Do banks in the Hong Kong use IBAN codes? No. Banks in Hong Kong don’t use IBANs to identify specific banks or account numbers. We use SWIFT codes instead.

An IBAN number begins with two-letter country code followed by a two-digit IBAN checksum. Next follows 4 digits from the SWIFT code. After this there can be up to 35 characters which are used to identify the individual bank account.

The sort code is usually formatted as three pairs of numbers, for example 12-34-56. It identifies both the bank (in the first digit or the first two digits) and the branch where the account is held. Sort codes are encoded into IBANs but are not encoded into BICs.

IBAN (International Bank Account Number) You can find this number on your statement, by logging into www.open24.ie or you can also call us on 0818 50 24 24 (or call into a branch) to get it. If you have your sort code and account number you can also use the calculator here to generate your IBAN.

A SWIFT code is also known as a BIC: a Bank (or Business) Identifier Code. Like a sort code, a SWIFT code/BIC identifies your bank – but unlike a sort code, it’s recognised internationally. As well as identifying the bank, they identify the country. The extra 3 digits in an 11-digit BIC identify the bank’s branch.

You can typically find your sort code on bank statements and in your online or app banking. Many banks also print the sort code on the front or back of the bank card together with the account number.

BIC stands for Bank Identifier Code. It’s a set of digits that represents a bank branch for international payments on the SWIFT network. Where can I find my bank’s BIC code? You can usually find your bank’s BIC code in your bank account statements.

You’ll find both your IBAN and BIC on your paper bank statement. Your IBAN will look like this: GB15HBUK40127612345678 please note the bank code and sort code will vary according to your account.

When you enter a wrong SWIFT, then this is what will happen: Your bank will subtract the money from your account balance. Your bank tries to send it to the bank with that SWIFT code. When the SWIFT code does not exist at all, your bank will reverse the payment and put the money back into your account.

It generally doesn’t matter. Most branches do not have SWIFT Code. They would recommend using the SWIFT code of the main branch. As SBI has moved to Core Banking System; all the messages would arrive centrally and they will be able to credit your account.
