ISO 9362 is a standard list of Bank Identifier Codes approved by the International Organization for Standardization.
These codes are used when transfering money to a bank account in another country.
The code is 8 or 11 digits, made up of:
4 characters - bank code
2 characters - ISO country code
2 characters - location code
3 characters - branch code, optional ( 'XXX' for primary office)
Where an 8 digit code is given, you may assume that it refers to the primary office.
The Society for Worldwide International Financial Transactions (SWIFT) handles the registration of these codes.
