How to find your BIC and IBAN number
If someone is sending you money from outside the UK, you'll need to give them the Nationwide BIC and your IBAN. Find out what these are and where to find them.
BIC (SWIFT code)
A Bank Identifier Code (BIC) is a standard format used to help identify banks worldwide. You’ll need a BIC for someone to send you an international payment, such as a SWIFT payment. This is why a BIC is sometimes called a SWIFT code.
Nationwide's BIC is NAIAGB21.
Intermediary Bank (HSBC) BIC is MIDLGB22.
Note:
You can't use your savings account to send or receive a SWIFT payment unless advised by one of our teams — you'll need to use your current account.
IBAN
An International Bank Account Number – or IBAN – is used worldwide to identify individual accounts. IBANs make it easier to process international payments.
