Ordering

Change your non-connected BIC and branch code

• Read the BIC registration procedure and the BIC Policy which provide a general description of the rules related to the registration and the publication of BICs.

• In order to update the information of your BIC or your Organisation you need to have a login. If your BIC was requested before February 2015 you need first to request this login. The login can be requested via one of these two e-orders : 

  • Claim ownership of a non-connected BIC: This e-order is used in case of you are the owner of the organisation

  • Claim the Management of a non-connected BIC: This e-order is used in case of you have your Own connected BIC and you would like to manage a Third Party Organisation

• Upon registration of your organisation, you will receive credentials to access the form for ordering a non-connected BIC.

• A non-connected BIC is always published in the ISO directory of BICs and in the different SwiftRef directories.

• A non-connected BIC is validated in the same way as a connected BIC in the text of a Swift message.

• A non-connected BIC cannot be used in the header of a Swift message, otherwise it will be rejected by the Swift system.

• A three character branch code is optional and may be used to identify a branch, a department or a service of the same organisation.
