Identifier Code must be a registered financial institution BIC (Error code(s): T27,T28,T29,T45).
Identifier Code must be a financial institution BIC. 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 is used when the intermediary institution is other than the ordering party.
Option A must be used whenever possible.
Option D must only be used in exceptional circumstances: when the party cannot be identified by a financial institution BIC, when there is a need to be able to specify a name and address, for example, due to regulatory considerations or when there is a bilateral agreement between the Sender and the Receiver permitting its use.
When qualified by a clearing system code or an account number, the use of option D will enable the automated processing of the instruction(s) by the Receiver.
