SWIFT / BIC Validator
Validate SWIFT/BIC codes and break them into bank, country, location and branch. Free and private: runs in your browser.
Paste one 8- or 11-character code per line.
Numbers are checked locally in your browser and never sent anywhere. Use test data, not real customer details.
Use cases
- Validate test data for payment and banking flows.
- Catch typos in account and card details before calling a provider API.
- Explain money-handling rules to your team with real examples.
Frequently asked questions
What does XXX at the end of a BIC mean?
XXX is the head-office branch code. An 8-character BIC is the same as the 11-character version ending in XXX.
Is the SWIFT / BIC Validator free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser, so your input is never uploaded or stored.
Can I use real customer data here?
Avoid it. Everything runs locally, but good practice (and PCI DSS) is to use test data outside production systems.
