Understanding SWIFT codes

SWIFT codes are 8 to 11 characters long, and each segment carries a specific meaning:

 

1 – Bank code (4 letters)

BBDE represents Bradesco.

 

2 – Country code (2 letters)

BR stands for Brazil.

 

3 – Location code (2 letters or numbers)

This indicates the bank’s city or regional office, SP in this case for São Paulo.

 

4 – Branch code (3 character)

These identify a specific branch, and when the suffix reads XXX, the code refers to the bank’s head office.

 

If you don’t have a branch-specific code, the primary Bradesco Bank SWIFT code is BBDEBRSPXXX.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a SWIFT/BIC code for international money transfers to Bradesco in Brazil?

Yes. Without a SWIFT code, an international transfer can’t be matched to a Bradesco account. BBDEBRSPXXX is the primary SWIFT code for Bradesco in Brazil.

How do I find a SWIFT code for Bradesco in Brazil?

Asking your recipient is the best way. Bradesco customers can pull their branch SWIFT code from a recent statement or through their online banking. Western Union’s bank codes guide is another option for cross-checking.

Do all banks have a SWIFT code?

Most large international banks have one, but not every institution does.

For more on how different bank routing codes compare, see our guide on SWIFT codes vs. IBANs.

Is a SWIFT code the same for all branches?

Not usually. Larger banks like Bradesco may issue separate SWIFT codes for individual branches in addition to the main office code. When the branch code can’t be tracked down, BBDEBRSPXXX is a default code for most transfers to Bradesco.
