Understanding SWIFT codes

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

 

1 – Bank code (4 letters)

BPDO represents Banco Popular Dominicano.

 

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, SX in this case for Santo Domingo.

 

4 – Branch code (3 character)

These identify a specific branch when included. An 8-character SWIFT code without a branch suffix, like BPDODOSX, refers to the head office by default.

 

The Banco Popular SWIFT code is BPDODOSX for the primary Dominican Republic office, used for transfers when a branch-specific code isn’t available.
