The bank's PDF of inward SWIFT remittance instructions for corporate clients (version V202405) lists 12 correspondent banks by currency with BICs but no account numbers. All 12 rows are extracted. An older, undated retail PDF (https://www.o-bank.com/-/media/97D21D49163344FFB50EC25C5CD94ED0.pdf?la=zh-TW) is titled 'O-Bank nostro accounts' and gives account numbers. For example, it shows USD at Wells Fargo NY PNBPUS3NNYC account 2000191002339 and JPY at Mizuho MHCBJPJT account 6228010. It differs from the 2024 list for EUR and SEK (Wells Fargo London PNBPGB2L) and for CNY (HSBC HSBCHKHHHKH), so it 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.

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.
