The source is an undated PDF titled 'Information on inflow details' listing the correspondents used for incoming USD, GBP and EUR payments to Access Bank Nigeria. All 6 rows were extracted. An older 'Swift Codes' PDF on the same site names Citibank London (CITIGB2L) as intermediary for EUR, where this PDF names Citibank Europe PLC, Ireland (CITIIE2X). The two PDFs also give different Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas Fedwire numbers: 0103 here and 021001033 in the older PDF. The EUR and GBP rows at Deutsche Bank print the same IBAN. Confirm with the bank before use. Each correspondent BIC is checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date. Confirm settlement instructions with the bank before relying on them.

Sources & method
Every value comes from a public source, such as Swift’s ISO 9362 BIC directory, GLEIF or the OFAC and EU sanctions lists. Most sources are matched on a BIC or an LEI, not on a name.
Swift GPI membership is matched on names and is indicative. A missing sanctions match does not mean that no listing applies. Always screen against the official lists.
The sanctions facts on this page cover the BIC and its LEI only.
An institution is one entry in the directory: a BIC8 in Swift’s directory, or a firm on a tracked register that holds no BIC. Licences held by an institution with a BIC are shown on its page.

## Assess the financial crime risk behind a BIC
A BIC identifies an institution; it does not assess it. The [Elucidate FinCrime Index (EFI)](https://elucidate.co/ratings) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks, built for correspondent banking and counterparty due diligence.
