Listings are matched on the BIC and its LEI, so they cover the 33 institutions here that hold a BIC.

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.
