Remittance-instruction PDF from the International Banking Department listing the bank's correspondent banks by currency with SWIFT IDs. It gives no account numbers and no date, so it may be stale. The list has 20 currency/correspondent rows, all extracted in row-wise order from the two-column table. For SEK the chain is shown as field 56 Nordea Bank Abp, Filial i Sverige (NDEASESS), field 57 Commerzbank AG Frankfurt (COBADEFF) and field 58 KGI Bank (CDIBTWTP). The CNH entry at Bank of China Taipei also gives CNAPS 104290000379 for payments from mainland China. The currencies the bank lists for its foreign-currency settlement platform are USD, CNH, JPY, EUR and AUD. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.
