It identifies both the bank and the branch where the account is held. The sort code, which is a six-digit number, is usually formatted as three pairs of numbers, for example 12-34-56. 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).
Each record on the ISCD has 82 fields. In some countries the bank codes can be viewed over the internet, but mostly in the local language.
