If you already have an account with a bank in Australia, simply sign into your online banking portal to find the BSB code of your branch. If you need to transfer money to a bank in Australia, BSB numbers can generally be found on the bank’s website, often included together with a bank branch locator tool. If you’re unsure of the bank’s BSB, call the branch before you attempt to make a transfer, to ensure you’ve got the correct code.
Europe, Middle East and Caribbean countries have adopted the use of International Bank Account Number (IBAN) for international funds transfers. Remember to use IBAN if you are doing fund transfer to countries in these regions.
An IBAN account number format consists of up to 34 alphanumeric characters so it would be wise to validate the IBAN number prior making international fund transfer.
IBANs don’t replace sort codes or account numbers. They are used to identify individual bank accounts for both incoming and outgoing international money transfer transactions whereas SWIFT code / BIC codes are mainly used to identify a specific bank during an international transaction.
