SWIFT code VS routing number VS IBAN

It’s normal to get confused by all the acronyms and codes involved in (international) wire transfers. These three, SWIFT code, routing number, and IBAN are the most common ones, and it's important to know what each one means.

We’ve already explained what’s a bank routing number and it’s also worth mentioning that they’re only used in the US. So, if you have a US bank account and want to make a domestic wire transfer, you'll need the routing number of the recipient’s bank.

A SWIFT code (also called BIC) is used for the identification of banks and financial institutions globally when making international money transfers. This code will identify the country, bank, and branch of the recipient's account. If you’re the one making an international transfer to a beneficiary outside the US, you’ll need to enter the SWIFT code of the beneficiary’s bank. If you’re the one receiving an international transfer, you’ll have to provide your bank’s routing number, as well as its SWIFT code.

While a routing number and a SWIFT code are both numbers used to identify a specific financial institution, an IBAN is a personal bank account number. It is generally used for international transfers in Europe and several other territories. It is not used in the US (as well as in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand). So, if you’re sending or receiving an international transfer from Europe (and several other territories), you will need an IBAN.

Your bank routing number is a 9-digit code used to identify a financial institution in a transaction. It's based on the location of the bank where your account was opened. It is also referred to as an RTN, a routing transit number or an ABA routing number and can be easily be found printed on the bottom left side of your check. You can also find your routing number in your online banking portal.

The most common types of encountered transactions are ACH and wire transfers. Some banks and financial institutions usually have multiple routing numbers serving different purposes, geographical regions, and branches. The Federal Reserve Banks require routing numbers to process Fedwire funds transfers and the ACH network requires them to process electronic funds transfers (for example direct deposits and bill payments).

International Money Transfers

When you'll need a FIRST HORIZON BANK routing number?

A routing number is required in a variety of situations, including setting up direct deposit, automatic loan payments or recurring transfers like bill payments.

You’ll also need it when you file taxes to receive your tax refund or debit a tax payment, or when you conduct Automated Clearing House (ACH), transfers between different bank accounts.

Generally, you'll only need your routing number when funds are being directly transferred to or from your bank account — never for debit card or credit card purchases.

How are SWIFT / BIC codes, IBANs, sort codes, and routing numbers different?

If you're planning to send or receive money through your bank, you will likely come across unfamiliar terms such as routing number (ABA), SWIFT / BIC code, IBAN, and sort code. What exactly are these acronyms, and what are they used for? Well, all of them seemingly do much of the same thing which is to help banks identify where your money needs to go when being transferred, but each is required in specific situations because different countries and banks have different processes and requirements.

SWIFT / BIC codes are 8 or 11-digit codes that uniquely identify banks and financial institutions worldwide. Unlike routing numbers, these codes are used for international payments.

IBANs are international bank account numbers that identify the country, financial institution, and individual bank accounts. They're mainly issued by banks in the Eurozone, but other countries are starting to adopt them as well.

Sort Codes are 6-digit numbers used for domestic transfers in the United Kingdom which identify the bank and the branch where a bank account is held.

Routing numbers are 9-digit codes used in the US to identify banks when processing domestic ACH payments or wire transfers. These are not required when making payments outside the United States.

Transit numbers are 9-digit codes used in Canada for electronic funds transfers. They identify a specific Canadian bank and branch where a payment will be sent.

Note: This website provides a quick and easy way to search & find routing numbers for banks and other financial institutions in the United States. If you're not sure which routing number to use contact your bank directly. You can call your bank using the phone number listed on your debit/credit card or send a message through your online banking system. Using the wrong routing number can lead to delays in processing the transfer.
