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.

The bank publishes no full nostro or SSI list. The only published details are single-currency announcements from the Hungarian branch (BIC CITIHUHX). One is a CHF announcement dated 29 August 2019 and fetched in full. The other is a SEK announcement dated 10 February 2023 (https://www.citibank.com/icg/sa/emea/hungary/english/assets/docs/Hirdetmeny_AHF_20230210-2-eng.pdf), read from a search excerpt only. In the SEK SSI the correspondent is the bank's own Dublin head office, with Svenska Handelsbanken AB (HANDSESS) as intermediary, so the direction is set to unknown. Both documents are old and may be out of date. The Dublin head office's own nostro accounts are not published. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.
