SWIFT Code of All Nigerian Banks

Few minutes ago, I published a post on the List of banks that issues Verve Cards. Just after publishing the post I recalled the ugly experience I had today in the bank when I requested for a bank transfer/wire. All my information was okay except one .. SWIFT CODE ..
Yes, I went without the Swift code of the recipient's bank. I searched around for someone to help me pullout the banks swift code, by all was in vain. After wasting hours in the banking hall, I had no choice than to go back home (under the hot sun) just to get the swift code. It was indeed not a pleasant experience, but i had no choice. For this reason, I have decided to inform you on the Swift codes of our Nigerian banks.
What is SWIFT code?
SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) code is a standard format of Bank Identifier Codes (BIC) and it is a unique identification code for a particular bank. The SWIFT code consists of 8 or 11 characters. When 8-digits code is given, it refers to the primary office.
  • First 4 characters - bank code (only letters)
  • Next 2 characters - ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (only letters)
  • Next 2 characters - location code (letters and digits) (passive participant will have "1" in the second character)
  • Last 3 characters - branch code, optional ('XXX' for primary office) (letters and digits)
What are the uses of SWIFT code?
SWIFT codes are used when transferring money between banks, particularly for international wire transfers. Banks also used the codes for exchanging other messages between them.
Currently, there are over 7,500 “live” SWIFT codes.
Below are the SWIFT codes for all banks in Nigeria. These SWIFT codes are only the active participants who are connected to SWIFT network. The passive participant’s codes are excluded from the list. .
