ISO 9362:2014 specifies the elements and structure of a universal identifier code, the business identifier code (BIC), for financial and non-financial institutions, for which such an international identifier is required to facilitate automated processing of information for financial services. The BIC is used for addressing messages, routing business transactions and identifying business parties. This International Standard applies to organizations and excludes individual persons.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers
to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information

Introduction
This International Standard specifies a universal method of identifying institutions within the financial
services industry, in order to facilitate automated processing of telecommunication messages in banking
and related financial transaction environments.
The original scope of this International Standard was limited to the identification of banks; consequently,
the acronym “BIC” was used as an abbreviation for “bank identifier code”. The scope of this International
Standard has since been extended, in the first place to cover all types of financial institutions, and in the
2009 edition of this International Standard, to cover non-financial institutions as well.
This new edition will take into account recent market evolution and address the need to ensure the
standard is neutral and agnostic from any network.
In order to avoid unnecessary costs that would have resulted from abandoning a well-known and widely-
used acronym, the acronym “BIC” has been retained for the purposes of this International Standard, but
is now used as an abbreviation for “business identifier code”.
The implementation of this International Standard will be completed by the Registration Authority (RA)
by the end of January 2015. To mitigate for the operational impacts on the users of this International
Standard, the RA will exceptionally continue to respect the BIC1 convention (as defined in ISO 9362:2009)
for SWIFTNet FIN connectivity as part of this International Standard Registration Procedures during a
transition period that will end in November 2018.
