This is the PDF 'List of main correspondents of BACXCZPP' (Version 1.0, updated January 2026). It is linked from the bank's Correspondent banking page. All 23 rows were extracted. The Transactions column codes (CP, FX, MM) are copied as published. The source does not define CP. The Correspondent banking page says the bank keeps more than 150 nostro accounts, so this list covers only the main ones. The same page says it holds more than 200 loro accounts for other banks, mainly in CZK and EUR. An older PDF (UCB_CZ_BACXCZPP_Correspondents_EN.pdf) was found in search results but was not 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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.
