Antarctica
Check who the institutions in Antarctica are: whether each holds a BIC, which register lists it and whether an LEI is mapped. No active institution in Antarctica is listed; Antarctica appears as the head office of institutions registered elsewhere.
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.
BIC data as at 23 September 2026
Institutions in Antarctica
No active institution in Antarctica is listed in the directory, as at 23 September 2026. Antarctica appears as the head office of institutions registered in other countries.
Regulation and supervision
None of the 22 tracked registers covers Antarctica. All 0 institutions listed here hold a BIC; firms licensed only by Antarctica’s national authorities are not listed.
Institutions headquartered here, registered elsewhere
One institution registered in another country gives Antarctica as its head office. Each counts in the country of its register.
Sources & method
Each institution counts once, in one country: the BIC country when it holds a BIC, otherwise the country of the register that lists it. Licences in other countries are shown on its page.
Sanctions listings are matched on the BIC and on the LEI mapped to it, so they cover institutions that hold a BIC only. Institutions without a BIC are not screened. Always screen against the official lists.

Assess the financial crime risk behind a counterparty
A BIC or a licence identifies an entity; it does not assess it. The Elucidate FinCrime Index (EFI) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks and payment firms. Read about the FinCrime Index.
