English 'Remittance route' page listing inbound payment routes for HKD, USD, EUR and JPY. The page is undated and all 4 rows were extracted. Only the EUR route prints an account number (A/C 9000014001, shown in field 57 next to the bank's BIC). The Chinese-language page 外币汇款路线 (search snippet only) names INDUSTRIAL BANK CO., LTD. HONG KONG BRANCH for HKD, not Bank of China (Hong Kong), so the two language versions may differ. A separate cross-border CNY route page shows CIPS direct participation (WFCBCNBNXXX) and a Swift route with A/C 239002187296. The intermediary bank for that CNY route could not be read, so it was not extracted. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.

- 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 AI research can be wrong or out of date, so check key facts at the source.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.
