## Licences and registrations

Held by the legal entity, not by this BIC

This BIC is mapped to LEI 529900ICA8XQYGIKR372 (Bawag P.S.K. Bank für Arbeit und Wirtschaft und Österreichische Postsparkasse Aktiengesellschaft) in the Swift and GLEIF BIC-to-LEI file. The legal entity’s page is [Bawag P.S.K. Bank Fuer Arbeit Und Wirtschaft Und Oesterreichische Postsparkasse AG (BAWAATWW)](https://elucidate.co/directory/bawag-p-s-k-bank-fuer-arbeit-und-wirtschaft-und-oesterreichische-postsparkasse-a-bawaatww). 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.

## Payment schemes and systems

EPC registers of 2026-09-11 · ECB T2 list of 2026-07-02 · ECB TIPS list of 2026-09-01 · SIX Bank Master valid on 2026-09-28

| Scheme or system | Since | Registered with | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| T2 (Eurosystem real-time gross settlement)ISO 20022 messages | — | Head office | — |
| TIPS (TARGET Instant Payment Settlement)ISO 20022 messages | — | Head office | — |

The T2 list names direct participants only and gives no joining date. TIPS entries have no joining date.

An institution missing from T2 may still be reachable through an indirect participant. The ECB’s TIPS list does not separate participants from reachable parties. It includes institutions reachable in Swedish kronor as well as in euro.

“ISO 20022 messages” marks a scheme or system whose rulebook or operator specifies ISO 20022 for messages between participants.

## National bank codes

### Bankleitzahl · Germany

1 code valid until 2026-12-06 · ISO 20022 clearing system code DEBLZ

| Code | Routes to BIC | Name in the national file | City |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 60090700 | SWBSDESSXXX | SÜDWESTBANK - BAWAG Niederlassung Deutschland | Stuttgart |

Each code shows the name in the national file. Smaller banks often route through a central institution’s BIC. A code can therefore belong to a different bank than the one on this page.

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.
