Frequently Asked Questions About Karnataka Bank SWIFT Codes

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

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

What is the difference between Karnataka Bank 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 (KARBINBB) 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 Karnataka Bank?

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