Bank code

From FIS Freestyle wiki

Bank code is a code assigned by a central bank, a Bank Supervisory Body or a Bankers Association in a country assigned to all its licensed member banks. The rules vary to great extent between the countries. Also the name of such a code varies. In some countries the bank codes can be viewed over the internet, but mostly in the local language.

Those countries that have International Bank Account Numbers mostly integrated the bank code into the prefix of specifying IBAN account numbers.
