How this service works
Resolve a BIC/SWIFT code (8 or 11 chars) into the underlying bank: name, country, city, LEI, and registered head-office address (where available). Use only when you already have the BIC — for IBAN inputs, prefer /v1/iban/validate which resolves the BIC for you. Production · server processing <5ms (network excluded — measure your own round trip on GET /ping) · 121,000+ BICs (39,000+ LEI-enriched via GLEIF, refreshed monthly) · v1.4.4.
Output
Returns structured bank details for the given BIC: institution name, country, city, registered head-office address (where available), and LEI (Legal Entity Identifier, available for 39,000+ institutions via GLEIF enrichment). Coverage spans 121,000+ BICs refreshed monthly.
Example use cases
Verify counterparty bank before wire
“I'm about to send an international wire and the recipient gave me BIC BARCGB22 — can you resolve that to the actual bank name, country, and head-office address so I can confirm it looks legit?”
Enrich payment records with bank metadata
“I have a SWIFT code BNPAFRPP in our transaction log and need to attach the full institution name, city, and LEI to the record — can you pull those details?”
Compliance due diligence on a foreign bank
“We're onboarding a correspondent bank and they provided BIC COBADEFFXXX — can you give me the registered name, country, head-office address, and their LEI identifier for our compliance file?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.ibanforge.com/v1/bic/:code?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you already have a BIC/SWIFT code and need to resolve it to bank details. If your input is an IBAN (not a bare BIC), prefer the /v1/iban/validate endpoint, which extracts and resolves the BIC as part of IBAN validation. Choose this endpoint for fast, direct BIC-to-bank enrichment in payment workflows, compliance due diligence, or transaction record enrichment.
Side effects
- Unknown or invalid BIC returns a 404 or error indicating no match found
- Malformed BIC (not 8 or 11 characters) returns a validation error
- LEI not available for all institutions — field may be absent or null
- Network latency adds to server's sub-5ms processing time
- Rate limiting or authentication errors if API key is missing or quota exceeded
