Business Identifier Code (BIC) Reference Data

Reference data for SWIFT BIC code, including bank names and addresses.

BIC is the International Standard ISO 9362:2014. This standard specifies the elements and structure of a universal identifier code, the business identifier code (BIC), for financial and non-financial institutions, for which such an international identifier is required to facilitate automated processing of information for financial services.

This dataset contains the reference data for the Business Identifier Code. In essence, it's a list of every bank in the world (some BIC holders are not banks, some banks don't have BICs).

Branch information has been excluded from this dataset.
