The source is the undated SSI page on the SMBC EMEA site. The only section for this legal entity is the SSI for Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation London Branch (SMBCGB3L). All 28 of its rows are extracted as nostro. Most of the branch's currency accounts are held at SMBC Bank International plc (SMBCGB2L), a group bank, with the currency correspondent shown as intermediary. The JPY row (SMBC Tokyo) and the USD row (SMBC New York) are inter-office accounts within the same legal entity. The other sections cover SMBC Bank International plc and SMBC Bank EU AG, which are separate group entities. From those sections, only the accounts they hold with SMBC Tokyo are extracted, as vostro. No published SSI or correspondent list for the Tokyo head office itself was found. The page is undated, so it may be stale; for example, it still lists RUB routing via JSC Sumitomo Mitsui Rus Bank. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.

  • Wikidata—CC0, matched on the BIC or LEI recorded in Wikidata. It is community-edited, so check key facts.
  • Ownership and group—GLEIF Level 2 relationship records (accounting consolidation), matched by LEI.
  • Overview, leadership, regulators and events—researched per institution by an AI model with web search, from the institution's own website and reports, regulators, company registers and news. Figures, people and events link to their source, and each card shows the research date. AI research can be wrong or out of date, so check key facts at the source.
  • Images—logos and photos from Wikimedia Commons (credited with their author and licence) or from the institution's own website, where Wikimedia has none.

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.
