Types come from Swift’s BIC classification, the licences on the 22 tracked registers, and the ECB and FSB bank lists. Most banks outside the euro area appear as financial institutions, because their supervisors’ registers are not tracked yet.
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.

## National bank codes
### ABA routing number · United States
1 code file of 2026-10-09 · ISO 20022 clearing system code USABA
| Code | Routes to BIC | Name in the national file | City |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 121301015 | FHBKUS77XXX | FIRST HAWAIIAN BANK | HONOLULU, HI |
Each code shows the name in the national file. Smaller banks often route through a central institution’s BIC. A code can therefore belong to a different bank than the one on this page.

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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.

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