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.

Correspondent accounts
Researched 29 Sep 2026 · Sources
2 accounts at other banks, in 2 currencies, as the bank publishes them: unicreditbank.ru ↗
| Currency | Correspondent | BIC | Account | Purpose | Directory check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USD | JPMorgan Chase Bank, New York United States | CHASUS33 | — | USD payment instructions | Matches the Swift directory |
| EUR | UniCredit SpA, Milan Italy | UNCRITMM | — | EUR payment instructions | Matches the Swift directory |
The English 'Payment details' page gives USD and EUR payment instructions naming the correspondent bank and its BIC. It publishes no nostro account numbers: beneficiary account numbers are masked. The Russian version's 'Счета «Ностро»' tab lists no accounts and tells clients to ask their manager about available currencies and details. The page is undated. It may not reflect current routing given sanctions-related restrictions. Both rows are extracted. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.

Each row is an account the respondent bank lists as held with this bank, as published. Only banks that publish their correspondent accounts, and that Elucidate has researched, can appear, so the list is not complete. Confirm settlement instructions with either 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.
