A correspondent bank is an intermediary bank for your SWIFT transaction. The SWIFT code of your correspondent bank is needed to process your transaction smoothly.


How to get a valid correspondent SWIFT code?

You can ask your recipient to contact their bank and inquire directly about the correspondent SWIFT code, or you can usually find this information on the recipient bank’s official website.
