What is a SWIFT Code?
A SWIFT code, also known as a SWIFT-BIC code, Bank Identifier Code (BIC), or Business Identifier Code (BIC), is a standard format for identifying banks and financial institutions globally to facilitate international money and security transfers. SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication.
SWIFT codes consist of 8 to 11 characters that provide details about the bank, its location, and branch. We will breakdown the components of a SWIFT code later in this article.
Major Banks in South Korea
South Korea has a robust banking system, and some of the largest Banks operate extensive branch networks throughout the country. The major banks include:
Kookmin Bank
Kookmin Bank, also referred to as KB Kookmin Bank, is one of the largest banks in South Korea. The bank was established in 1963 and maintains a vast network of over 1,000 branches across the country. Some example SWIFT codes for Kookmin Bank branches include:
- Jongno Branch in Seoul – COMBKRSEXXX
- Yeoksam Branch in Seoul – COMBKRSESEO
- Busan Bank Branch – COMBKRSEPUS
Woori Bank
Woori Bank is another leading bank in South Korea formed by the merger of the former Hanvit Bank and Peace Commercial Bank in 2002. It operates approximately 900 branch locations. Some Woori Bank SWIFT codes are:
- Seoul Branch – HVBKKRSEXXX
- Incheon Branch – HVBKKRSEINA
- Ulsan Branch – HVBKKRSEULS
Shinhan Bank
Shinhan Bank is the first private commercial bank founded in Korea. Established in 1982, it now maintains over 830 retail branches locally and abroad. Here are some example SWIFT codes for Shinhan Bank:
- Yongsan Branch in Seoul – SHBKKRSESEO
- Hadang Branch in Seoul – SHBKKRSEHAD
- Andong Branch – SHBKKRSEADO

- Seoul Sungsoo Branch – NACFKRSESEU
- Daegu Jungang Branch – NACFKRSEDGJ

- Bundang Branch in Seongnam – IBKRSESEBNP
Other Notable Banks
Additional leading banks in South Korea include Citibank Korea, Standard Chartered Bank Korea, KEB Hana Bank, and DGB Daegu Bank. Most foreign bank branches also have designated SWIFT codes.
Components of a SWIFT Code
SWIFT codes are comprised of 8 to 11 letters and digits that represent details about the bank. These components include:
Bank Code
The first 4 alpha and/or numeric characters identify the bank name.
Location Code
The next 2 characters are letters that indicate the country location. For South Korea, it is commonly KR.
Branch Code
This 2 character code signifies the city or location. For example, SE is used for Seoul.
The last 3 digits denote the specific branch. XXX indicates a bank’s head office.
What SWIFT Codes are Used For
SWIFT codes serve several essential purposes:
International Money Transfers
Financial institutions mainly use SWIFT codes to transfer money between accounts across borders. The codes facilitate automated sorting and transmission of messages.
Business-to-Business Payments
Along with wire transfers, companies rely on SWIFT codes to pay overseas vendors and conduct other B2B payments.
Lookup Tools for SWIFT Codes
You can manually search bank websites or use online lookup tools to find SWIFT codes. Helpful directories include:
MyBankTracker
MyBankTracker provides an extensive database to search for SWIFT/BIC codes by bank name, location, or other criteria.
