How do I use the BIC GENODEF1SAL?
For a SEPA transfer within the European payment area the IBAN is usually enough and the BIC is derived automatically. For transfers outside the SEPA area or for international (SWIFT) transactions you need the BIC GENODEF1SAL in addition to the IBAN.
In the euro area, Verification of Payee (VoP) has been mandatory since 9 October 2025: before a euro transfer the bank checks that the IBAN and the payee name match. A correct IBAN therefore matters. Check your IBAN before the transfer with our IBAN validator.
