Frequently Asked Questions About Central Bank of India SWIFT Codes

Does every Central Bank of India branch in India have a separate SWIFT code?

No. In India, foreign inward wire remittances are processed centrally through Central Bank of India's Head Office / Central Treasury SWIFT code (CBININBBXXX). Senders provide this institutional SWIFT code along with the beneficiary account number and branch name. Central Bank of India then automatically routes and credits the funds to the recipient's domestic branch.

What is the difference between Central Bank of India IFSC and SWIFT code?

The IFSC code is an 11-character code used strictly for domestic money transfers within India via NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS. The SWIFT/BIC code (CBININBB) is an internationally recognized standard used by banks worldwide for cross-border wire transfers into India.

What details are required to send an international wire transfer to Central Bank of India?

The remitter must provide: (1) Beneficiary Account Holder Name, (2) Beneficiary Account Number, (3) Central Bank of India SWIFT Code (CBININBBXXX), (4) Head Office Bank Address (Mumbai, India), and (5) Beneficiary Branch IFSC code or branch address in the payment instructions field.
