Your BIC (Bank Identifier Code) — also called a SWIFT code — is a unique international code that identifies your bank.
It ensures that your withdrawals and transfers are sent safely to the right bank anywhere in the world.
What does a BIC look like?
It’s usually made up of 8 or 11 letters, for example:
KREDBEBB → KBC Bank
GEBABEBB → BNP Paribas Fortis
AXABBE22 → AXA Bank
BBRUBEBB → ING Belgium
The first 4 letters = your bank
The next 2 letters = your country
The rest identifies the specific branch
Where can I find my BIC/SWIFT code?
You can easily find it:
In your banking app or online banking, under “Account details”
On your bank statements
On your bank card (some banks print it there)
Or by contacting your bank directly
Tip: Your BIC is always shown next to your IBAN in your bank app.
