UAE bank SWIFT codes

Pick your bank to get its SWIFT/BIC code. Got a code and want to know whose it is? Type it into the search box.

SWIFT code, IBAN or both?

  • A SWIFT code (BIC) identifies the bank. It is 8 or 11 characters, and you need it for an international transfer to or from the recipient’s bank.
  • An IBAN identifies the account itself. A UAE IBAN is 23 characters and starts with AE; it is used for transfers within the UAE and for receiving money from abroad.
  • To send internationally from the UAE you usually need the recipient bank’s SWIFT code and the account details, including an IBAN in countries that use one.
