## Licences and registrations
Held by the legal entity, not by this BIC
This BIC is mapped to LEI 529900LKIMB57HKF3545 (Bank of China (Europe) S.A.) in the Swift and GLEIF BIC-to-LEI file. The legal entity’s page is [Bank of China (Europe) S.A. (BKCHLULA)](https://elucidate.co/directory/bank-of-china-europe-s-a-bkchlula). 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.
