Below you can find the SWIFT codes for South Africa. Each South African bank account has one which is used to identify it, and is used for international transfers to and from South Africa.

How Does the South African SWIFT Code Work?

This is how it looks:

AAAA–BB–CC-DDD

Here is what it signifies:

South African SWIFT codes have 8 or 11 characters in total. The first 4 characters are the bank code and consist of letters only. The next 2 characters are the country code and use letters only. The following 2 characters are the location code and use a mix of letters and digits. The final 3 characters are the branch code and use both letters and digits. SWIFT codes operate globally in the same manner, ensuring that banks can easily and correctly identify each other.
