TLBPPHMMXXX is made of four parts: TLBP identifies Land Bank of the Philippines as the bank, PH specifies the Philippines as the country, MM points to Metro Manila as the location, and XXX designates the main branch.

A SWIFT/BIC code gives the global banking network the information it needs to direct your money to the right bank. To send funds to a Landbank account in the Philippines, you’ll need the code TLBPPHMMXXX to identify the receiving institution.
Recipients can locate their Land Bank of the Philippines SWIFT code on a recent bank statement or through their online banking account.
Ask for their Landbank account number and the SWIFT code. A recent bank statement or their Landbank online banking portal should have both.
Individual Landbank branches may have a unique code tied to their location. If a branch-specific code isn’t available, the head office code TLBPPHMMXXX is the default option.
We’ll find the right SWIFT code for you once you enter the bank account transfer details. All that’s left to do is choose how to pay and send.
SWIFT codes are 8 to 11 characters long, with different sections communicating information about the receiving bank. Here’s how it breaks down:
TLBP represents Land Bank of the Philippines.
PH stands for the Philippines.
Points to the bank’s city or regional hub — MM for Metro Manila in this case.
Identifies a specific branch. When it’s blank or reads XXX, the code refers to the bank’s head office.
If your recipient doesn’t have a branch-level code, TLBPPHMMXXX is the primary Landbank of the Philippines SWIFT code.
Yes. Sending money internationally to a Landbank account requires a SWIFT code to process the transaction. For most transfers, TLBPPHMMXXX will work.
The quickest way is to ask your recipient directly. Landbank customers can find their branch SWIFT code on a recent bank statement or through their online banking account. You can also use Western Union’s bank codes guide as a reference.
Most banks that process international transfers in the Philippines are part of the SWIFT network, but not all. Those without a SWIFT code typically route cross-border payments through a correspondent bank. For a closer look at how these identifiers work, see our guide on SWIFT codes vs. IBANs.
Not always. Many banks assign unique SWIFT codes to individual branches. If your recipient can’t confirm a branch-specific code, the head office code is a reliable fallback for most transfers.
