Swift code/number is used to uniquely identify a bank in a city. Ask your bank for the swift code. It is generally 8 alphabet or 11 alphabet. The format is like <BANK-CODE><COUNTRY-CODE><CITY-CODE> Example: UNILPKKA --- Where UNIL is United Bank Limited --- PK is Pakistan --- KA is Karachi
Perfect example And I think most of banks in Pak are connected to swift using Karachi branches. That's why mostly have PKKA at the end. There is only one way to find out. Pick up the phone, dial your bank help line and ask for it
