SWIFT/BIC codes are also known as Bank Identifier Codes. The system encodes bank and branch information for international wire transfers, making it easier to confirm that payments are sent to the recipient. The name SWIFT means Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication.
The interpretation of the code stands very simple. The First 8-letters from the code are the SWIFT code, while the three letters represent the First Bank branch. SWIFT systematically coded the first 4-characters to describe the financial institution, the next 2-characters to represent the country, and the last 2- characters to represent the state.
Note that not every First Bank branch has a SWIFT code. For that reason, customers are to use the head office SWIFT code for their transactions.
