Two-page PDF from fhb.com. Page 1 lists 'Correspondent Pay Through Banks' for outgoing USD wires to foreign banks. It gives ABA routing numbers and telegraphic names for about 24 US-based banks (for example Bank of America 026009593, Citibank 021000089, JP Morgan Chase 021000021 and Standard Chartered 026002561 for other foreign banks). These are routing intermediaries, not accounts of FHB, so they are not extracted. Page 2, 'Foreign Correspondent / Pay Through Banks', lists 6 foreign-currency correspondents with Swift BICs, all extracted. No account numbers are published. Direction is inferred as nostro because the same page says FHB's own AUD account with National Australia Bank was closed on 15 October 2021. The document is marked REV. 05.05.21 and may be stale. Each correspondent BIC is checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date. Confirm settlement instructions with the bank before relying on them.

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.

- Wikidata—CC0, matched on the BIC or LEI recorded in Wikidata. It is community-edited, so check key facts.
- Overview, leadership, regulators and events—researched per institution by an AI model with web search, from the institution's own website and reports, regulators, company registers and news. Figures, people and events link to their source, and each card shows the research date. AI research can be wrong or out of date, so check key facts at the source.
- Images—logos and photos from Wikimedia Commons (credited with their author and licence) or from the institution's own website, where Wikimedia has none.

Assess the financial crime risk behind a BIC
A BIC identifies an institution; it does not assess it. The Elucidate FinCrime Index (EFI) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks, built for correspondent banking and counterparty due diligence.
