Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions answered about Axis Bank SWIFT codes and international money transfers.

A SWIFT code (or BIC code) is a standard 8 or 11-digit code used to identify a specific bank branch during international wire transfers. For Axis Bank, it begins with "AXIS" and is followed by "IN" (Country Code), "BB" (Location Code), and an optional 3-digit branch code suffix.
No. Only authorized Forex branches have unique 11-digit SWIFT codes. For smaller or non-forex branches, Axis Bank utilizes a central universal SWIFT code (typically the Head Office SWIFT code: AXISINBBXXX or AXISINBB) to route the international wire, which is then credited locally using the domestic branch IFSC code.
On average, an international SWIFT wire transfer takes 1 to 3 business days to reach Axis Bank. The actual processing time depends on the sender's bank country, time zone, clearing system, and the completeness of the recipient account information.
A SWIFT code is used exclusively for international bank transfers to identify banks globally, whereas an IFSC (Indian Financial System Code) is an 11-digit alphanumeric code used solely for domestic transfers within India (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS).
