A Bank Code is a code assigned by a central bank, a Bank Supervisory Body or a Bankers Association in a country to all its licensed member banks. Banks in Northern Ireland can be part of either the British or the Irish clearing system, depending on their country of registration. Does the number of characters in the IBAN correspond to the number specified for this country?
Although there is a strong correlation between BIC Codes and sort codes, sort codes are not explicitly encoded into BIC codes (although they are encoded into IBANs).
Sorting code and BIC allocation
Members have ranges of sorting codes that they can allocate to bank offices.
