SEPA dates are when the institution became ready for the scheme. The T2 list names direct participants only and gives no joining date. TIPS and SIX Bank Master entries have no joining date.
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.
The SIX Bank Master also lists participants outside Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
NCT and NCT Inst dates are when the institution became ready for the scheme.
“ISO 20022 messages” marks a scheme or system whose rulebook or operator specifies ISO 20022 for messages between participants.

This is Nordea's PDF of standard settlement instructions for Nordea Bank Abp (BIC NDEAFIHH), covering commercial, FX, derivatives and money market payments, effective 13 October 2025. The PDF could not be fetched directly, so only the first rows shown in the search index were extracted. The full list covers more currencies. The CHF account number was cut off in the index. Separate SSIs exist for the Swedish branch (NDEASESS), the Danish branch (NDEADKKK), the Norwegian branch (NDEANOKK; effective 1 January 2026) and securities settlement (NDEAFIHH030; dated 4 March 2026). A newer edition of the head-office SSI may exist. Check the full document before use. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.
