Bank Swift Codes Sri Lanka
A SWIFT code is a standard format code that identifies financial institutions around the world. It is also known as a Bank Identifier Code (BIC). SWIFT codes are used to send and receive money internationally and are an essential part of the global financial system.
In Sri Lanka, SWIFT codes are used by banks to facilitate international wire transfers and other financial transactions. Each bank in Sri Lanka has its own unique SWIFT code, which is made up of 8 or 11 characters. The first 4 characters identify the bank, the next 2 characters identify the country, and the last 2 characters identify the location of the bank.
Here is a list of some of the major banks in Sri Lanka and their corresponding SWIFT codes:
Commercial Bank of Ceylon: CCEYLKLX
Hatton National Bank: HBLILKLX
National Development Bank: NDBSLKLX
People’s Bank: PBANLKLX
Sampath Bank: BSAMLKLX
Seylan Bank: SEYSLKLX
Standard Chartered Bank: SCBL LK LX
Bank of Ceylon: BCEYLKLX
DFCC Bank: DFCCLKLX
National Savings Bank: NSBKLKLX
It is important to double check the accuracy of the SWIFT code when sending or receiving an international wire transfer. Incorrect SWIFT codes can cause delays or even result in the money being sent to the wrong bank.
In addition to the SWIFT code, you will also need to provide other information when sending or receiving money internationally, such as the recipient’s bank account number and the recipient’s name. It is always a good idea to confirm the details of the transaction with the recipient or their bank before sending the money.
In conclusion, SWIFT codes are an essential part of the global financial system and are used to facilitate international money transfers in Sri Lanka and around the world. It is important to use the correct SWIFT code to ensure that your money reaches the intended recipient safely and efficiently.
