About this SWIFT/BIC code

EFGBKYKY uniquely identifies EFG BANK in CAYMAN ISLANDS 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 EFGBKYKY is an 8-character BIC, it addresses the head office. Branch-level BICs append three additional characters (for example, EFGBKYKYXXX for the primary office) and are used when a specific branch must be addressed.
