Just choose the Direct to Bank Account service when you send money online or at an agent location. You’ll need to provide the receiver’s bank account information. The requirements change from country to country, but usually include:

Select our Direct to Bank Account country information tool to see which countries have this service available and what will you need.

A bank code is a series of numbers used to identify banks around the world. They can have between 3 and 23 digits depending on the bank and the country.

A bank code could be called:

• BSB
• SWIFT Code
• BIC (Bank Identification Code)
• CHIPS (Clearing House Inter-Bank Payment System) – US and Canada only
• NCC (National Clearing Code)
• BSC (Bank Sort Code)
• IFSC (Indian Financial System Code)

For some countries, you may need an International Bank Account Number (IBAN) in addition to the bank code.

Please ask your receiver for the bank code and IBAN (if applicable). You can refer to our Direct to Bank Account country information tool to see which details are required for each country.
