No licence or registration was found for this entity on the 22 registers the directory tracks, or on the ECB and FSB bank lists. Most banks are licensed by national supervisors whose registers are not tracked yet. This does not mean that the institution is unregulated. ## Ownership and group GLEIF relationship records GLEIF’s relationship records name no parent for this LEI, and no group page is published for it. ## Addresses - **Registered address:** 135N.

A code can therefore belong to a different bank than the one on this page. ## Network ### Branches and correspondent banking All 2 branch BICs connect to the head office.

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.
