I decided that I wanted to try EFT or electronic fund transfer, and so I tried contacting my bank on which I have an account and requested for the information that Google Adsense needed such as the account nickname, bank number and branch number. What the bank call center person replied to me was information on the bank's SWIFT CODE, saying that this is the information needed to effect a bank transfer. He proceeded to suggesting that I ask Google what ACCOUNT NICKNAME, BANK NUMBER and BRANCH NUMBER are - seems they do not have an idea what these are? What actually are these three? Perhaps the swift code is one of them?
Swift code is a number that identifies your bank. Go here: http://www.swift.com/biconline/ There you'll find yourt bank's swift code.
