Understanding SWIFT codes

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

 

1 – Bank code (4 letters)

AXIS represents AXIS Bank.

 

2 – Country code (2 letters)

IN stands for India.

 

3 – Location code (2 letters or numbers)

This indicates the bank’s city or regional office, BB in this case for Mumbai.

 

4 – Branch code (3 character)

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

 

AXIS Bank’s SWIFT code for international transfer to its head office is AXISINBBXXX. If you don’t have a branch-specific code, this is the one to use.
