About this SWIFT/BIC code

The SWIFT/BIC (Business Identifier Code) is the international standard ISO 9362 for identifying financial institutions in cross-border payments. CHOIBZB1 uniquely identifies CHOICE BANK LTD in BELIZ on the SWIFT network and is used as the routing identifier in field 57A of an MT103 message (or the equivalent BICFI element in an ISO 20022 pacs.008).

Because CHOIBZB1 is an 8-character BIC, it addresses the head office. Branch-level BICs append three additional characters (for example, CHOIBZB1XXX for the primary office) and are used when a specific branch must be addressed.

Payments routed through CHOICE BANK LTD can be tracked end-to-end via SWIFT GPI when both the sender and receiver are GPI-enabled. Ohmyfin provides free public lookup of any UETR — paste yours on the homepage to see the latest available status, including which correspondent banks the payment has passed through.

Frequently asked questions

What does SWIFT/BIC code CHOIBZB1 stand for?

CHOIBZB1 is the unique SWIFT/BIC code identifying CHOICE BANK LTD in BELIZ. The first four characters (CHOI) are the institution code; the next two (BZ) are the ISO 3166-1 country code for BELIZ; the next two (B1) are the location code; no branch code is present, so this BIC addresses the head office.

How do I track a payment sent to CHOICE BANK LTD?

Use the Ohmyfin SWIFT tracker on the homepage. Paste the UETR (field 121) or the payment reference (field 20) and Ohmyfin returns the latest available SWIFT GPI status, including each correspondent bank the payment passed through on the way to CHOICE BANK LTD.

Is CHOIBZB1 an 8-character or 11-character BIC?

CHOIBZB1 is 8 characters long — head-office BIC (8-char). An 8-character BIC identifies the bank's head office; an 11-character BIC identifies a specific branch. Both are valid in MT103 field 57A.

Why might a payment to CHOICE BANK LTD be delayed?

Most delays at the beneficiary bank come from sanctions/AML screening on the ordering customer, missing remittance information in field 70, or arrival after the local RTGS cut-off. Use Ohmyfin to see which hop is holding the payment so you can chase the right party.
