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.

Standard settlement instructions for FX, money market, derivative and banknote deals on jyskebank.com (Financial Institutions menu). The page has no date. There are 31 rows and all were extracted. Account numbers are printed for CNY, CNH, MXN, PLN, SAR, TRY and AED only. The page says the list is advisory and is overridden by specific agreements, for example CLS settlement. Jyske Bank is a third-party CLS member through CHASGB2LCLS. A separate page lists primary correspondents for commercial transactions (https://jyskebank.com/financialinstitutions/settlementsforcommercialtransactions). It has the same banks and BICs, except that there is no DKK row, and it gives no account numbers. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks, built for correspondent banking and counterparty due diligence.
