ISOForeword
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide alliance of national standard bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of developing international standards is usually carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to express its interest to the technical committee. Official international organizations in liaison with ISO may also participate in the work. ISO cooperates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters concerning electrotechnical standardization. Draft international standards adopted by technical committees are circulated to member bodies for voting. Publication as international standards requires at least 75% of the member bodies voting in favor. International standard ISO9362 was developed by technical committee ISO/TC68 (Technical Committee for Banking and Related Financial Industries). The current ISO9362:1994 is the second edited and revised international standard, which will cancel and replace the international standard content of ISO9362 developed in 1987.
Appendices A and B of this international standard are for reference only. 77
GB/T16711-1996
In the banking environment, in order to identify institutions in the financial services industry and facilitate the automated processing of telecommunications messages, some telecommunications service departments have determined a variety of coding methods. It should be recognized that there is a need for harmonization in this area, particularly as many organizations in the financial services industry have more than one code and others have no code assigned. This standard provides a common method for identifying organizations in the financial services industry to facilitate automated processing of telecommunication messages in banking and related financial transactions.
The coding system described in this standard is fully consistent with ISO 6523. Registration has been proposed in accordance with ISO 6523. The annex to this standard describes the process for registering Bank Identifier Codes (BICs) and for publishing these codes in a directory format. 78

Responsibilities of Registration Authority
The bank identification code consists of a bank code, a country code, a region code and an optional branch code. The four-character bank code is assigned by the registration authority. The country code is taken from GB/T2659 and the region code is allocated by the registration authority. The registration authority combines the assigned bank code with the appropriate country code, region code and branch code to generate one or more bank identification codes, which uniquely identify the institution or its branch, legal entity or department of the institution. Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT)) has been designated by the ISO committee as the registration authority for bank identifier codes. For more information on bank identifier codes or to apply for a bank identifier code and for recommendations, please send your request to: Bank Identifier Code Registrar/o Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication SCAvenue Adele,l
