A Bank Code is a unique identification code for a particular bank. These codes are used when transferring money between banks and also can be used to exchange messages between them.

There are many different kinds of bank codes, including SWIFT codes and local or country-specific codes. Examples of local bank codes are BSB numbers, sort codes, and routing numbers.

Local bank codes are managed by a central bank, a bank supervisory body or a Bankers Association in a country. Codes are then assigned to all its licensed member banks or financial institutions. The code rules vary between the countries.

Since the introduction of International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs), the countries which use IBAN have mostly integrated their local bank codes into the prefix of IBAN account numbers.
