CBPR+ does not allow a name and postal address next to a BIC. - **Identified by:** BIC, with its LEI - **Roles in CBPR+:** Debtor agent, creditor agent or an intermediary agent ### CBPR+ For cross-border payments on Swift: the BIC, with the LEI and clearing code where known ```xml BPPAFR21XXX 969500VRSFWX7S1P2M29 ``` ### Full record Every ISO 20022 element the directory holds. Base ISO 20022 allows them together. CBPR+ does not allow a name and address next to a BIC ```xml BPPAFR21XXX 969500VRSFWX7S1P2M29 BNP PARIBAS CARDIF FR 14 RUE LOUIS BLERIOT RUEIL MALMAISON 92858 ``` This BIC is not connected to Swift. Messages reach the institution through a correspondent bank, so it cannot be the instructing or instructed agent. Swift’s two address fields do not agree on a town, so the full record gives the address as address lines only. The BIC, name and address are as published in Swift’s BIC directory. The LEI comes from the Swift and GLEIF BIC-to-LEI file.

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.
