The BIC must be a SWIFT registered address, either connected or non-connected (Error code(s): T27, T28, T29, T45).
The BIC must not be a BEI. Please refer to the latest version of the BIC Directory - Corporations for more information on BEIs. This error code applies to all types of BICs referenced in a FIN message including SWIFT BICs, non-SWIFT BICs, Masters, Synonyms, Live destinations and Test & Training destinations. (Error code(s): C05).
This field may only be used where the settlement does not follow the same route as the MT 256 (this message).
When it is necessary that an incoming SWIFT payment be made to the party in this field via Fedwire, US banks require that the code //FW appears in the optional Party Identifier.
Option A must be used whenever possible.
Option D must only be used in exceptional circumstances, ie, when the party cannot be identified by a BIC and when there is a bilateral agreement between the Sender and the Receiver permitting its use. Unless qualified by a clearing system code or an account number, the use of option D may prevent the automated processing of the instruction(s) by the Receiver.
