SEPA dates are when the institution became ready for the scheme. The T2 list names direct participants only and gives no joining date. TIPS 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.
“ISO 20022 messages” marks a scheme or system whose rulebook or operator specifies ISO 20022 for messages between participants.

This is the SMBC EMEA standard settlement instructions page. Extracted: all 27 non-EUR rows of the SMBC Bank EU AG Frankfurt (SMBCDEFF) section, in the published order. EUR settles via TARGET directly to SMBCDEFF, with no correspondent account shown. Also extracted: the NKCMDEFF section, marked 'Effective 25th April 2022'. That section is the capital markets BIC of the former SMBC Nikko entity, with Euroclear accounts. Its SGD row was cut off in retrieval and is not included. In the SMBCDEFF rows the published 'account with bank' is SMBC Bank International plc London (SMBCGB2L), and the account number is the bank's own published IBAN. The first-level intermediary is recorded in purpose. The page also has 26 rows for the Paris branch (SMBCFRPP) of the same legal entity. They are not extracted because of the row limit. The page shows no issue date, 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.
