Listings are matched on the BIC and its LEI, so they cover the 17 institutions here that hold a BIC. Country programmes name Somalia; Elucidate grades them as targeted listings only. ### OFAC programmes naming Somalia Entries on the OFAC lists under each programme, all entry types, published 23 September 2026 - Somalia SOMALIA 30 Level: Targeted listings only (graded by Elucidate). A programme lists individuals, entities, vessels and aircraft; its count is not a count of institutions. ### EU regimes naming Somalia Entries on the EU consolidated list under each regime, generated 22 September 2026 - Somalia SOM 24 Level: Targeted listings only (graded by Elucidate). ## Regulation and supervision None of the 22 tracked registers covers Somalia. All 17 institutions listed here hold a BIC; firms licensed only by Somalia’s national authorities are not listed. ## Groups and systemic importance ### Largest other groups GLEIF consolidation groups, by legal entities (LEIs) in this country | Group | LEIs here | LEIs in the group | | --- | --- | --- | | [Banque Misr S.A.E.](https://elucidate.co/directory/group/549300ZW0H9ORV7CWL52) | 1 | 2 | ## Payments and connectivity Of the 17 institutions in Somalia that hold a BIC, 88.2% are connected to Swift, as at 23 September 2026. ### Connection to Swift Institutions that hold a BIC, by connection type in Swift’s directory - Connected to Swift15 · 88.2% - Reverse billing1 · 5.9% - Passive participant (no connection)1 · 5.9% A BIC does not imply a connection to the Swift network. ## All BIC codes in Somalia Look up any of the 17 BIC codes registered in Somalia: the head offices and branch codes of the 17 institutions here that hold a BIC, with their LEIs and flags.

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.
