Correspondent Banking Services PDF on scotiabank.com: 'Standard Settlement Instructions for Foreign Exchange, Money Market and Commercial Payments', dated 10 July 2007. All 41 rows were extracted. It gives currency, correspondent and BIC but no account numbers. The list is 19 years old and very likely stale. It includes obsolete currencies (CYP), defunct names (Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Scotiabank Inverlat) and BICs printed with spaces or non-standard lengths, all kept as published. Rows naming The Bank of Nova Scotia's own offices (Toronto, New York, Hong Kong, Mumbai) or 'Bank of Nova Scotia, <city>' units are marked direction unknown, because they may be the entity's own branches rather than accounts at other banks. A separate 2012 GTB brochure (GTB_CORRESPONDENTACCOUNTS_GTB.pdf) describes CAD and USD vostro account services but lists no accounts. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.
