SEPA dates are when the institution became ready for the scheme. 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.

PDF headed 'List of our principal reimbursement banks for commercial transactions', valid from 1 July 2025. The PDF itself could not be fetched (access denied), so rows come from search-engine extracts of it. Rows from Kuwait (KWD) to Switzerland (CHF) are missing, and the Kuwait row's BIC was cut off. The ANZ and HSBC Hong Kong name cells appear truncated in the source text. EUR is shown as 'In our books' under GEBABEBB and is not listed as an account. The note says the bank is reachable through T2, EURO1, STEP1 and STEP2 SCT. Fetch the full PDF to complete the list. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.

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.
