Bank Swift Code for Malaysian Banks

Here’s some Bank Swift Codes for Malaysian Banks. Its useful to know this codes as people from outside Malaysia who want to credit your local bank will need it. eg When a company in USA wants to credit your local Malaysian bank account (maybank) with money, they will need to quote MBBEMYKL.

Affin Bank Berhad = PHBMMYKL

The SWIFT code consists of 8 or 11 characters. When 8-digits code is given, it refers to the primary office.

* First 4 characters – bank code (only letters)
* Next 2 characters – ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (only letters)
* Next 2 characters – location code (letters and digits) (passive participant will have “1″ in the second character)
* Last 3 characters – branch code, optional (‘XXX’ for primary office) (letters and digits)

SWIFT code is a standard format of Bank Identifier Codes (BIC) and it is unique identification code for a particular bank. These codes are used when transferring money and messages between banks.

IBAN or ABA number or Bank Transit Routing number

Sometimes you are also asked for IBAN or ABA number. These two bank identification numbering standards are not applicable to Malaysian local banks, so you can disregard it.

International Bank Account Numbers (IBAN) are account number standards primarily used in Europe. ABA or Bank Transit Routing number are used in the United States.
