An institution missing from T2 may still be reachable through an indirect participant. The ECB’s TIPS list does not separate participants from reachable parties. It includes institutions reachable in Swedish kronor as well as in euro.
“ISO 20022 messages” marks a scheme or system whose rulebook or operator specifies ISO 20022 for messages between participants.

The page is titled 'RIKOLV2X Correspondent Banks' and shows the correspondents used by the bank's Latvian branch (BIC RIKOLV2X). It lists the currency, the direct correspondent with its BIC and any intermediary with its BIC. It gives no account numbers. For AUD, CAD, CHF, CZK, HUF, JPY, RON and USD the direct correspondent is the bank's own head office in Tallinn (RIKOEE22), which is part of the same legal entity. The intermediary for those rows is recorded in purpose. EUR is also settled directly through EBA or Target2 (not an account row). The head office's own list at luminor.ee/rikoee22-en would not render and could not be extracted. The Lithuanian branch has a separate list. The page was last modified on 21 May 2026. All rows were extracted. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.

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.
