BankValidor validates SWIFT codes for Australian banks and provides BSB format guidance to ensure your cross-border payment reaches the right institution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Australia use IBAN?
No. Australia does not use the IBAN system. For domestic transfers within Australia, the BSB (Bank State Branch) code and account number are used. For international wire transfers to Australia, you need the SWIFT/BIC code of the receiving bank, the BSB number, and the Australian account number (6-10 digits).
What is a BSB code?
A BSB (Bank State Branch) code is a 6-digit number used to identify Australian bank branches for domestic direct entry payments. The first two digits identify the bank/financial institution, the third identifies the state, and the last three identify the branch. BSBs are managed by the Australian Payments Council (APC).
What are the SWIFT codes for major Australian banks?
Major Australian bank SWIFT codes: ANZBAU3M (ANZ Bank), CTBAAU2S (Commonwealth Bank/CBA), NATAAU33 (National Australia Bank/NAB), WPACAU2S (Westpac), BOFAAUS3 (Bank of America Australia). These are used for all international wire transfers into Australia.
What information do I need to send money to Australia?
For an international wire transfer to Australia: the Australian bank's SWIFT/BIC code, the bank name and address, the BSB number (6 digits, identifies the branch), and the account number (6-10 digits). For PayID transfers (domestic only), a phone number, email, or ABN can be used instead of BSB + account.
