BIC specifies the Bank Identifier Code. BEI specifies the Business Entity Identifier.

Proprietary Code specifies a local national code or market segment code identifying the party.

NETWORK VALIDATED RULES

Country Code must be a valid ISO country code (Error code(s): T73).

The BIC/BEI must be a SWIFT registered address, either connected or non-connected (Error code(s): T27, T28, T29, T45).

Proprietary code (Format Option R) and Name & Address (Format Option Q) must not start or end with a slash '/' and not contain two consecutive slashes '//'. For field formats with more than 1 line, the rule applies for each line (Error code(s): T26).

USAGE RULES

Qualifiers used to identify the parties do not specify the business role of the parties but their position in the settlement chain and the relationship which the parties have with one another.
