Third-party copy of the bank's fixed income SSI pack, dated May 2020. Only the 35 free cash rows (cash related to securities activity) were extracted, in published order. The securities custody accounts were not extracted. The pack says money market and FX have their own separate SSIs, which were not found. The list may be stale: the RUB account at Sberbank in particular may no longer be in use. The EUR account is held at the bank's own Frankfurt branch. The pack could not be checked against an official Barclays page because home.barclays and ib.barclays could not be fetched. The RUB account number is garbled in the text extraction and is left empty. For PLN only the account number is given because the IBAN is garbled. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.

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.
