Although there is a strong correlation between BIC Codes and sort codes, sort codes are not explicitly encoded into BIC codes.
Database Samples
BinDB offers the Sort Code Database in SQL format by default, however we also offer free restructuring of the data as the client requests.
IBAN and BIC codes are widely used means of identifying bank account numbers, but not the only international system.
In some cases, the first digit of the sort code identifies the bank itself and in other cases the first 2 digits identify the bank.
