Why does this checker exist? To take a BIC (the code often called a SWIFT code) apart by Swift's published policy, and to test the shape of a BIC or IBAN without sending it anywhere. Around the checker are guides to US bank codes, routing numbers and the checks worth making before you wire money abroad.
Who is behind it? swiftcodelookup.com is looked after by its operator, who answers at contact@swiftcodelookup.com. No name is published. The BIC and IBAN tests follow the published structure rules and the IBAN check-digit method, and they passed against the registry's official example IBANs before launch.
Is this Swift, or a bank? Neither. It is an independent information site with no official role, and it has no link with Swift, any bank, payment firm or regulator mentioned here.
Who owns the names used here? SWIFT is a mark of its holder, as is each bank name mentioned; they appear only so you know who is meant. The guides and checker logic are original to swiftcodelookup.com, except where a page credits another source.
Does the site make money? Not today. It carries no ads, no paid placements and no affiliate links to transfer services. This answer will be updated if that changes.

Writing to the inbox
Which address? contact@swiftcodelookup.com, and no other. No web form, no chat.
When does a reply come? Replies tend to go out in a few working days.
What can it help with? A code that looks out of date, a rule that seems wrong, a missing explanation, or a request to remove something. It cannot trace a payment, call back a wire, or confirm that someone's account exists.
What must stay out of the email? Account numbers, a real person's full IBAN, online banking passwords, card numbers and copies of ID. Your address is used for one thing: answering you.
