About Swift Codes

What is a Swift Code?

A Swift code (also known as BIC - Bank Identifier Code) is a unique 8-11 character code that identifies a specific bank worldwide. It's used for international wire transfers to ensure money reaches the correct financial institution.

Swift Code Format

Nepali bank Swift codes typically follow this format:

4 letters: Bank code (e.g., NEBL for Nepal Bank)
2 letters: Country code (NP for Nepal)
2 letters: Location code (KA for Kathmandu)
3 letters (optional): Branch code

Example: NEBLNPKA = NEBL (Nepal Bank) + NP (Nepal) + KA (Kathmandu)

How to Use Swift Codes

Find your bank's Swift code from the table above
Provide the Swift code to the sender when initiating an international wire transfer
Include your account number and bank name
Verify the Swift code with your bank before making a transfer

Important: Always verify Swift codes directly with your bank before initiating international transfers. Swift codes may change, and using an incorrect code can delay or prevent your transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Swift code the same as BIC code?

Yes, Swift code and BIC (Bank Identifier Code) are the same thing. BIC is the official term, while Swift code is the commonly used name.

Do all Nepali banks have Swift codes?

Most commercial banks in Nepal have Swift codes. Smaller banks or development banks may not have Swift codes if they don't handle international transactions.

Can I use Swift code for domestic transfers?

No, Swift codes are only used for international wire transfers. For domestic transfers in Nepal, you'll need the bank's routing number or account details.

What if my bank's Swift code is not listed?

Contact your bank directly to get the correct Swift code. You can also check the bank's official website or visit a branch for verification.
