There are some banks using (9+3) 12 digit SWIFT codes, but no information is available at SWIFT website regarding these new version of codes comparing old (8+3) 11 digit codes. Is there anybody else who can put some light on the issue?

[edit] SWIFT CODES ARE NOT MUCH AUTHENTIC ITSELF!

You would be amazed to know that SWIFT codes are not even much authentic itself! There are banks in the world which are using more than 11 digit of SWIFT code by mistake for years and SWIFT system can't detect those. SWIFT works like a FAX machine or just a relaying machine without verification of contents including its own BIC/SWIFT codes.

Isn't it VERY FUNNY that the whole banking systems of the world are working on a BIG security breach that is even certified by ISO!!!

  • Agrani Bank, one of the largest banks in Bangladesh uses their SWIFT code as AGBKBDDHA001. They added an A at the end of SWIFT code before the branch code by mistake or wrong information from SWIFT. But that bank didn't face any problem while transacting billions of dollars internationally with that wrong SWIFT code for years!

Without correct Username & Password you can't even log into a FREE email account BUT you can transact billions of dollars through SWIFT easily! ;-)

According to BIC Online, there is no A in the correct code:
