Additional information pertaining to the financial banking information under part C of the enrolment form

A sort code identifies both the bank and the branch where the account is held. In some cases, the first digit of the sort code identifies the bank itself, and in other cases, the first two digits identify the bank. Some countries refer to the sort code as the ABA, BSB, IFSC or BRSTN. They have been identified in the required direct deposit banking information list above.

A SWIFT code is a standard format for bank identifier codes and is a unique identification code for a particular bank. These codes are used when transferring money between banks, particularly for international wire transfers. Banks also use the codes for exchanging other messages with each other.

IBAN stands for international bank account number and is a number attached to all accounts in the European Union countries plus Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Hungary. The IBAN is made up of a code that identifies the country the account belongs to, the account holder's bank and the account number itself. The IBAN makes it easier and faster to process cross-border payments.
