This is VP Bank (BVI) Ltd's wire transfer instruction sheet, valid from 1 June 2017. It names VP Bank AG as the intermediary bank and lists VP Bank AG's own accounts at correspondents. The PDF could not be fetched because the site was under maintenance. The rows below were read from the search-engine extract only, so the list is partial. The GBP row appears without a BIC or account number, and other currencies were not visible. The list is over nine years old and may be stale. The March 2026 banking relations PDF has contacts only (fbr@vpbank.com) and no accounts. A custody SSI page for fund sub-custody, valid from 16 January 2024, could not be loaded. 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checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date.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)](https://elucidate.co/ratings) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks, built for correspondent banking and counterparty due diligence.
