How does a SWIFTCode look like?
A SWIFT Code usually consists of 8 or 11 characters. When it is 8 characters, it refers to the primary office or headquarters. But when it is 11 characters, it refers to the branch office of that particular Bank.
- First 4 characters – bank code (only letters)
- Next 2 characters – ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (only letters)
- Next 2 characters – location code (letters and digits) (passive participant will have “1” in the second character)
- Last 3 characters – branch code, optional (‘XXX’ for primary office) (letters and digits)
Below are the SWIFT Codes of all Banks in Nigeria. The SWIFT Codes listed below are those of the active participant connected to the SWIFT network located in La Hulpe, Belgium. If the SWIFT Code of your Bank is not listed below, that means they are not currently connected to the SWIFT network, thereby referred to as passive participants.
