The table is titled 'International SWIFT/BIC Code & Intermediary Bank Table'. It is embedded in the bank's International Payments page, which describes the listed banks as those with which BOQ maintains accounts. It has 11 rows, all extracted. It gives currency, bank, branch and BIC but no account numbers. The page is undated. A separate BOQ Specialist correspondent list (form dated 10/2014, with account numbers) was not used: it is old and was published for BOQ Specialist. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.

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.
