SWIFT / BIC Validator
Paste any SWIFT or Business Identifier Code (BIC) — 8 or 11 characters — and verify it matches the ISO 9362 format. The validator strips whitespace, upper-cases the input, then splits it into the bank code (4 letters), country code (2 letters, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2), location code (2 alphanumeric) and optional branch code (3 alphanumeric, defaulting to the primary office). It also flags 'test' BICs where the second character of the location code is '0' — those identifiers belong to the SWIFT test-and-training network, not production. Useful for backend engineers wiring up cross-border payments, ops teams verifying counterparty details, and developers writing onboarding forms.
