SWIFT codes are essential for international bank transfers. This calculator helps you find and verify SWIFT codes for US banks quickly and accurately.

What is a SWIFT Code?

A SWIFT code (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication code) is a unique identifier for banks and financial institutions. It's used to specify the bank that should receive your money transfer.

SWIFT codes are essential for international wire transfers as they ensure that your money reaches the correct bank and account. They're also used for other financial transactions like foreign exchange and securities trading.

SWIFT codes are different from routing numbers. While routing numbers are used for domestic US transfers, SWIFT codes are required for international transactions.

How to Use a SWIFT Code

Using a SWIFT code is straightforward. Here's what you need to know:

Find the recipient bank's SWIFT code
Include it in your international transfer details
Ensure the account number and recipient details match the SWIFT code
Double-check all information before sending

SWIFT Code Verification Process:

Enter the bank name in the calculator
Select the country (USA)
Click "Calculate" to retrieve the SWIFT code
Verify the code matches the recipient's bank

SWIFT Code Format

SWIFT codes follow a specific format:

Bank Code (4 letters) - Identifies the bank
Country Code (2 letters) - Identifies the country
Location Code (2 letters) - Identifies the city or branch
Branch Code (3 letters) - Identifies the specific branch

For example, in the SWIFT code BOFAUS3N:

BOFA - Bank of America
US - United States
3N - New York branch

Not all banks have SWIFT codes. Some smaller banks or credit unions may not be included in the SWIFT network.

SWIFT Code Examples

Here are some common SWIFT codes for US banks:

Bank Name	SWIFT Code	Location
Bank of America	BOFAUS3N	New York
JPMorgan Chase	CHASUS33	New York
Wells Fargo	WFBIUS6S	San Francisco

Always verify the SWIFT code with the recipient bank before making a transfer.
