Where this data comes from
Codes on this page come from the BIC-to-LEI Mapping Table published by SWIFT and GLEIF (version September 2026, gleif.org). Institution names and registered addresses come from GLEIF Level‑1 LEI reference data (released under CC0, golden copy of 2026-09-29, terms). The entity status shown is the status of the legal entity in the Global LEI System, not a statement that a code is connected to SWIFT or valid for a particular payment.
