Payment instructions on the bank's cross-border banking page. The page names USD intermediary banks with their BICs but gives no account numbers. The only rows are one intermediary bank for USD wires to the head office (BNDCCAMMINT) and one for USD wires to the New York branch (BNDCUS33, same legal entity); both were extracted. The page is undated. A linked PDF version (payment-instructions.pdf) could not be retrieved. No full list of nostro accounts or SSIs was found on nbc.ca. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.
