Understanding SWIFT codes

1 – Bank code (4 letters)

BCBH represents Banco BHD.

 

2 – Country code (2 letters)

DO stands for the Dominican Republic.

 

3 – Location code (2 letters or numbers)

This indicates the bank’s city or regional office, SD in this case for Santo Domingo.

 

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 Banco BHD Dominican Republic SWIFT code is BCBHDOSDXXX.
