Each institution counts once, in one country: the BIC country when it holds a BIC, otherwise the country of the register that lists it. Licences in other countries are shown on its page.

About Swift GPI

Swift GPI is Swift’s service for cross-border payments between member banks. A GPI payment carries a unique end-to-end transaction reference (UETR). Each bank in the chain updates the payment’s status against it, up to the credit to the beneficiary.

Swift publishes the list of member institutions and whether each is live.

See how a cross-border payment travels between banks.

Method and limits

Swift’s list gives names, not BICs. Each member is matched to a BIC8 by name, within the member’s region. The match is indicative.

An institution missing from this page may still be a member under another name. Check with Swift’s list or with the institution.

Institutions marked inactive are not counted here: another one carries the same attribute.

Sources & method

Swift GPI membership is matched on names and is indicative.

Assess the financial crime risk behind a counterparty

A BIC or a licence identifies an entity; it does not assess it. The Elucidate FinCrime Index (EFI) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks and payment firms. Ask what it covers for the counterparties you deal with. Read about the FinCrime Index.
