## Addresses
- **Registered address:** REGERINGGSGATAN 103 STOCKHOLM
- **Operational address:** REGERINGGSGATAN 103
## ISO 20022 identification
As an agent in a Swift cross-border payment message (CBPR+)
A CBPR+ message identifies this institution by its BIC, and may add its LEI or a clearing code. CBPR+ does not allow a name and postal address next to a BIC.
- **Identified by:** BIC, with its LEI
- **Roles in CBPR+:** Any agent, including the instructing and instructed agents
### CBPR+
For cross-border payments on Swift: the BIC, with the LEI and clearing code where known
```xml
AVANSESXXXX
5493009VJC01E4H6HH77
```
### Full record
Every ISO 20022 element the directory holds. Base ISO 20022 allows them together. CBPR+ does not allow a name and address next to a BIC
```xml
AVANSESXXXX
5493009VJC01E4H6HH77
AVANZA BANK AB
SE
REGERINGGSGATAN 103 STOCKHOLM
```
Swift’s two address fields do not agree on a town, so the full record gives the address as address lines only.
The BIC, name and address are as published in Swift’s BIC directory. The LEI comes from the Swift and GLEIF BIC-to-LEI file. Check them against your own records before use.
## National bank codes
### Clearingnummer · Sweden
2 codes file of 2026-08-06 · ISO 20022 clearing system code SESBA

| --- | --- | --- |
| 9550-9564 | AVANSESX | Avanza Bank |

Each code shows the name in the national file. Smaller banks often route through a central institution’s BIC. A code can therefore belong to a different bank than the one on this page.

A customer-service FAQ on deposits from foreign banks. It says incoming payments from abroad are made via Avanza's account at SEB and are credited to the customer in SEK. It gives a single account with a BIC. The page is rendered by script and returned no text when fetched, so the details come from the indexed page text. No separate SSI or correspondent-bank list was found. The account currency is not stated. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.
