## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability bic-swift-code-reverse-lookup-b8692fc1
```

Example prompt: What bank does the BIC code DEUTDEDBBER belong to, and which country is it in?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to identify a bank from a BIC/SWIFT code, validate that a BIC is well-formed, or enrich payment data with bank name and country information. Ideal for offline, no-key lookups using open-registry data. Prefer this over live SWIFT lookup services when latency, cost, and key-free operation are priorities.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed BIC (wrong length or format) returns valid: false with error_type, not a 500
- Unknown BIC not in registry returns valid: false
- Missing required bic parameter returns an error
- BIC with no registered bank entry may return empty bank names

## How this service works

Reverse BIC / SWIFT code lookup: given a BIC, return the resolved bank name(s), the country and the domestic bank codes. Offline open-registry data (schwifty, MIT); no network or keys. A malformed BIC returns valid false with an error_type, never a 500.

## Output

Returns the bank name(s) associated with the BIC, the country, and any domestic bank codes. If the BIC is malformed or not found, returns valid: false with an error_type field rather than an error status code.
