When to use a SWIFT/BIC code for international transfers
A SWIFT/BIC code is required when sending or receiving international wire transfers, particularly to countries that do not follow the IBAN system. This code ensures that the funds are directed to the correct financial institution and branch, reducing the risk of delays or failed payments.
You’ll typically need a SWIFT/BIC code when transferring money to banks in the U.S., Canada, Australia, or other non-IBAN countries. It may also be required when receiving payments from abroad into your own account.
To ensure accuracy, use a trusted SWIFT code finder to look up the correct code, or validate an existing one before processing any international transactions.

This company is awesome. Saved me hundreds in FX from what my bank was going to charge. Very fast and professional. I was nervous to wire money at first but they walked me through it and the funds were back in my account in the same day. Highly recommend!
