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.
