How to find a local branch SWIFT code for IDBI Bank in India

Check with your recipient

Ask them for their IDBI Bank account number and the SWIFT code. They can usually find both on a recent bank statement or through IDBI Bank’s online banking portal.

Verify the branch code

Certain IDBI Bank branches have their own location-specific SWIFT codes. If your recipient can’t track down their branch code, the head office code, IBKLINBBXXX, works as a default for most transfers.

Complete your transfer with Western Union

Select your recipient’s bank, and we’ll match it to the right SWIFT code. Enter your recipient’s bank account transfer details, choose how you’d like to pay, and send.

Understanding SWIFT codes

Every SWIFT code follows the same structure with 8 to 11 characters that tell the global banking network exactly where to deliver your funds. Here’s how the IDBI Bank SWIFT code breaks down:

 

1 – Bank code (4 letters)

IBKL identifies IDBI Bank.

 

2 – Country code (2 letters)

IN stands for India.

 

3 – Location code (2 letters or numbers)

Points to the bank’s city or regional hub — BB for Mumbai in this case.

 

4 – Branch code (3 character)

Specifies an individual branch. When this reads XXX, it means the code is tied to the bank’s head office.

 

If your recipient doesn’t have a branch-level code handy, the primary IDBI Bank SWIFT code is IBKLINBBXXX and will typically route to the right place.
