## Licences and registrations

Held by the legal entity, not by this BIC

This BIC is mapped to LEI K8MS7FD7N5Z2WQ51AZ71 (Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Sociedad Anonima) in the Swift and GLEIF BIC-to-LEI file. The legal entity’s page is [Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A (BBVAESMM)](https://elucidate.co/directory/banco-bilbao-vizcaya-argentaria-s-a-bbvaesmm). None matched by LEI in the 22 tracked registers.

The Swift name for this BIC differs from the legal name in GLEIF.

Licences belong to the legal entity. Each applies in the country of the regulator that granted it, not to every BIC that carries the LEI.

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.
