How do I make an international payment using Digital Banking? (No)
Before you start you will need the following information:
- Beneficiary's Bank Identifier Code (BIC / SWIFT) - all payments
- Beneficiary's International Bank Account Number (IBAN) - for payments to IBAN Compliant Countries
- Account number - payments to an account without an IBAN
- National Clearing Code (NCC) - payments to an account without an IBAN
If you do not have the Payee's account details in this format, please ask the Payee to supply them. They can get these details on request from their bank.
You will also need your card and a card-reader to complete the process or your mobile app if you are registered for biometrics.
