Understanding SWIFT codes

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

 

1 – Bank code (4 letters)

HDFC represents HDFC 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.

 

HDFC Bank’s SWIFT code for international transfers is HDFCINBBXXX. If you don’t have a branch-specific code, this is the one to use.
