A CBPR+ message identifies it by name and postal address, and may add its LEI or a clearing code. - **Identified by:** Name and postal address, with its LEI - **Postal address:** Incomplete: no town published - The register publishes no town as a separate field. A CBPR+ postal address needs at least a town name (TwnNm) and a country (Ctry). The LEI record in GLEIF holds a structured legal address. CBPR+ identifies the instructing and instructed agents by BIC only. An institution without a BIC can be the debtor, creditor or an intermediary agent. Its LEI is also mapped to a BIC in Swift’s directory. Where that BIC identifies this institution, use it instead. The values are as published by the register. Check them against your own records before use. ## Related institutions ### Same group - [Convera UK Limited BIC TGBPGB22 Financial institution Not on a tracked register United Kingdom · Not on a tracked register · LEI 549300M7EOXYU5SJQ317](https://elucidate.co/directory/convera-uk-limited-tgbpgb22) - [Convera Malta Financial Limited BIC TGBPMTMT Payments & e-money Prudential licence Malta · Licensed by Malta Financial Services Authority · C22339 (EBA-PSD2) · LEI 549300FY5PQTSMJKWY35](https://elucidate.co/directory/convera-malta-financial-limited-tgbpmtmt) - [Western Union International Bank GMBH BIC WUIBATWW Credit institution Prudential licence Austria · On the ECB list of supervised entities · LEI 549300POR1VXCUOJ3V54](https://elucidate.co/directory/western-union-international-bank-gmbh-wuibatww) - [Western Union Payment Services Ireland Limited No BIC Payments & e-money Prudential licence Ireland · Licensed by Central Bank of Ireland · C55075 (EBA-PSD2) · LEI 2549001KT0ONU8BSTX35](https://elucidate.co/directory/western-union-payment-services-ireland-limited-6d0f5d1b2d00) - [Convera Australia Pty LTD BIC CNAYAU22 Money service business AML registration only Australia · Registered with AUSTRAC (AUSTRAC-RSR) · LEI 549300XVKZNJ4UTCN573](https://elucidate.co/directory/convera-australia-pty-ltd-cnayau22) - [Convera Hong Kong Limited · trading as CONVERA No BIC Money service business AML registration only Hong Kong SAR China · Registered with Customs and Excise Department (C&ED) · 12-06-00062 (CED-MSO) · LEI 549300PZV5W9E1BBIU77](https://elucidate.co/directory/convera-hong-kong-limited-acb45e8e17c8) - [Western Union International Services, LLC No BIC Money service business AML registration only United States · Registered with FinCEN (FINCEN-MSB) · LEI MPZW9QQ3ARO07TVMGD25](https://elucidate.co/directory/western-union-international-services-llc-4b033396b2c5) - [Ruesch International Inc.

LEIs are matched through GLEIF, and a BIC is linked only through a shared LEI. An institution missing from these registers is not necessarily unregulated. Register entries are not matched against the OFAC or EU sanctions lists. Where the legal entity also holds a BIC, the matches for that BIC are on its page. Always screen against the official lists. 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.
