Inbound international transfer instructions on davivienda.com. They name the bank's correspondent banks and their BICs, with Banco Davivienda S.A. (CAFECOBBXXX) as beneficiary bank. The rows come from search-result extracts because the page itself could not be fetched. No nostro account numbers are published. Currency per row is not shown in the extracts. The US banks carry ABA codes. Deutsche Bank AG and Commerzbank appear to be euro correspondents. Toronto Dominion (CAD), UBS (CHF or GBP) and MUFG (JPY) are likely assignments but not confirmed, so the currency field is left empty. Names are copied as published, including spellings such as 'Standar Chartered Bank' and 'Toronto Dominio Bank Toronto'. 12 rows. The published order may differ. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.

- Ownership and group—GLEIF Level 2 relationship records (accounting consolidation), matched by LEI.
- Overview, leadership, regulators and events—researched per institution by an AI model with web search, from the institution's own website and reports, regulators, company registers and news. Figures, people and events link to their source, and each card shows the research date. AI research can be wrong or out of date, so check key facts at the source.

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