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.
National bank codes

1 code
| Code | Routes to BIC | Name in the national file |
|---|---|---|
| 22 | HABAEE2X | Swedbank AS |
Each code shows the name in the national file. Smaller banks often route through a central institution’s BIC. A code can therefore belong to a different bank than the one on this page.

This is a table on the business-customer page for international payments. It sits under a notice that Swedbank AS would close its EUR and USD accounts at Deutsche Bank AG (DEUTDEFF) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (BKTRUS33) on 16 June 2017. It gives correspondent and BIC by currency but no account numbers, and it may be stale. Both rows are extracted. The EUR row names the bank itself, clearing through STEP2, EURO1 or Target 2, so it is not an account at another bank. The page also links a full correspondent-bank list as a PDF (info_intpay_corrbanks_est.pdf), but that file could not be retrieved. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.
