Ordering checklist

Should your organisation need to change its name / address, or transfer contracts, please select the corresponding scenario from the below list.

In case you would like to change or add contacts and addresses for shipping, billing or contract purposes, or change the e-ordering delegation, please update “Your profile” on www.swift.com.

In case of doubt:

Please contact your account manager via Sales/Training | Swift or Membership@swift.com, who will establish the best suitable scenario.

To that effect, answering to the below questions will be useful in order to select the appropriate scenario:

  • What is/are the institution name(s) and BIC / PIC code(s) you are enquiring for?
  • Does it concern a merger, acquisition or transfer to a separate legal entity? 

If yes:

  • Is it with an existing Swift user, and if so, which one (including BIC code)?
  • Is it with a non-existing Swift user?
  • Does it result in a name change?  If so, what is the new organisation name?
  • Does it result in the set-up of a new legal entity, e.g. with the new company registration number or new tax ID number?
  • If several BIC codes are involved, will any of them deactivate? If so, which one(s) and when?
  • Are Swift shareholders involved?  If yes, what is their BIC code?
