Asked
often.
What is the SWIFT code of RASTRIYA BANIJYA BANK LTD.?
RBBANPKA, or RBBANPKAXXX in its 11-character form. Both point to the head office of the bank in Nepal and can be used for any RASTRIYA BANIJYA BANK LTD. account.
Is a SWIFT code the same as a BIC?
Yes. BIC, Business Identifier Code, is the official name of the standard; SWIFT code is what most banks and people call it.
Should I use 8 or 11 characters?
Either. The last three characters name a branch, and XXX stands for the head office. If a form insists on 11 characters, add XXX.
Do I need an IBAN as well?
Usually. The SWIFT code identifies the bank; the account inside it is identified by an IBAN or, where the country does not use IBANs, by an account number.
How long does an international transfer take?
Usually one to five working days, depending on the currencies and on how many banks the payment passes through on the way.
Is it safe to share a SWIFT code?
Yes. It is public information about the bank, not about you, and nobody can take money from an account with it.
