What is a 3-digit Taiwan bank code?

The Taiwan bank code is a 3-digit interbank clearing number designated to financial institutions (e.g., Bank of Taiwan is 004, Mega Bank is 017). It is used for domestic interbank remittances, ATM operations, and payroll distribution through Taiwan's Interbank Clearing System.

Do I need a branch code for international wire transfers to Taiwan?

Generally, international wire transfers only require the head office's 8 or 11-digit SWIFT Code along with the recipient's full account number. However, some banks might ask for the specific branch name in writing to ensure accurate routing to the opening branch.

What is the difference between a clearing code and a SWIFT Code in Taiwan?

A 3-digit bank code (plus a 4-digit branch code) is used for local transactions denominated in TWD within Taiwan. A SWIFT Code is a standard global format used by international networks to wire funds across borders securely.

Domestic vs. International Wire Codes Guide

When transferring funds in Taiwan, please select the correct code based on your transfer method:

1. Domestic Transfers (ATM / Online Banking) 👉 Use the 3-digit Bank Code
For interbank transfers via ATMs, online banking, or apps in Taiwan, you only need the 3-digit Bank Code (e.g., CTBC is 822) and the recipient's account number.

2. International Wire Transfers (Inward Remittances) 👉 Use the 8-11 character SWIFT Code
When wiring money to Taiwan from overseas, the sending bank will require a SWIFT Code. Additionally, Taiwanese banks often require the English Branch Name or Branch Code, so we recommend confirming this with the beneficiary.
