For anyone sending or receiving international transfers in Armenia, the SWIFT code is essential. SWIFT codes identify banks globally, ensuring that your funds are routed accurately and securely. Below is the complete list of Armenia SWIFT codes for active banks and financial institutions.
What is a SWIFT Code?
A SWIFT code (also called a BIC – Bank Identifier Code) is an international standard for bank identification. These codes are critical for cross-border payments, especially in business, trade, and remittances.
Format of a SWIFT code:
- First 4 characters → Bank code (letters only)
- Next 2 characters → Country code (letters only)
- Next 2 characters → Location code (letters or digits)
- Last 3 characters → Branch code (optional; ‘XXX’ means head office)
Example: ARMIAM22 is the SWIFT code for Ameriabank in Yerevan.
