What is Swift code?
Through the SWIFT(Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication.) system, SWIFT codes, sometimes referred to as BIC(Business Identifier Codes) codes, guarantee quick and secure international payments.
Use of swift code
A SWIFT code is used to confirm the legitimacy of the banks or financial institutions while conducting an international transaction.

It is necessary for SEPA(Single Euro Payments Area) payments as well as international wire transfers and money transfers between banks.
