Country-specific guides

Country-specific guides¶

GIB sends international wires as ISO 20022 pacs.008 messages through its U.S. correspondent, which forwards them over the Swift network to the beneficiary bank. Wires from abroad reach GIB over Fedwire through the sending bank's U.S. correspondent; see Wire routing instructions.

The guides below cover the country-specific routing identifiers, purpose-of-payment codes, beneficiary address formats, and operational quirks that determine whether a wire lands first time. Missing something you'd find helpful? Email us at info@gibank.com.
