• Key Concepts: 
  A SWIFT code is a unique identifier used by banks and financial institutions to identify themselves when sending and receiving money. It is also known as a Bank Identifier Code (BIC). The SWIFT code is an 8-11 character code that consists of a 4-digit bank code, a 2-digit country code, and a 2-digit location code. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The SWIFT code is used to identify the bank or financial institution that is sending or receiving money. When sending money, the sender must provide the recipient's SWIFT code in order to ensure that the money reaches the correct bank. When receiving money, the recipient must provide their own SWIFT code in order for the sender to identify the correct bank. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to double check the accuracy of the SWIFT code before sending or receiving money. If an incorrect SWIFT code is provided, the money may not reach its intended destination.
