The codes can sometimes be found on account statements.
These 'BIC12's are not part of the ISO standard, and are only relevant in the context of the messaging platform.
The Committee of European Securities Regulators (CESR) had originally wanted each competent authority (CA) to collect this information and share relevant reports with other CAs by November 2008, one year after MiFID went live. Fortunately, all banks doing regular international business have their full BIC details listed in the SWIFT online database shown above; access is free.
For example, ABA numbers (or routing codes) identify banks in the US and Canada, Sort Codes identify banks in the UK.
New Zealand has not adopted this standard, so if you're giving your details, please provide your full bank branch account number and suffix as indicated on your statement.
