Search for the vendor's International bank

If the vendor has provided some bank account details but not the exact bank branch identifier required, search for the International bank with information that was provided, by clicking Search by bank name or SWIFT code (available for countries that use Swift only)

• The bank can be searched with the following parameters:
  • Swift code

    • Verify the bank name and address matches the information provided by the vendor before clicking Select
      • If the incorrect bank is accidentally selected, click Remove Bank

Search tips

• Search by any information that has been provided
• If searching by one object garners too many results, add additional info to filter results
• Search by wild card - A wildcard character is a kind of placeholder represented by a single character, such as an asterisk(*), which can be interpreted as a number of literal characters or an empty string. It is often used in file searches so the full name need not be typed.
• Search by Bank Branch Identifier if wanting to verify the bank branch and address
