What a SWIFT/BIC code is

The BIC (Business Identifier Code), commonly called SWIFT code, identifies a bank or institution in international payments. It has 8 or 11 characters: 4 letters for the institution, 2 for the country, 2 for the location, and an optional 3 for the branch. XXX, or no branch code at all, means the head office.

For a transfer in euros within SEPA the IBAN is enough. For a transfer outside the area, or in another currency, the sending bank needs the beneficiary's IBAN or account number plus the BIC of the receiving bank. A wrong BIC delays the transfer or sends it back, with fees charged.

Questions

How many SWIFT codes are there in Sri Lanka?

This list has 55 BIC codes of banks and institutions in Sri Lanka, head offices only.

How do I recognise a Sri Lanka BIC?

Characters 5 and 6 of the code are the country: a BIC of Sri Lanka has LK in that position, for example HNBSLKLX.

Which IBAN goes with these codes?

Sri Lanka does not use the IBAN: give the BIC together with the local account number as shown on the statement.
