```

Example prompt: Can you look up the bank details for BIC code DEUTDEDB — I need to know what bank and country it belongs to?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve or validate a BIC/SWIFT code to its associated bank and country details, particularly in financial automation workflows, invoice processing, or international payment preparation. Prefer this over manual lookup when integrating into an agent pipeline that processes banking data at $0.01 per call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed BIC code returns an error or empty result
- BIC not found in database returns no match
- Missing required input parameter causes a 400-level error
- Service unavailable returns a 5xx error
