In this post, you’ll find out the correct Swift Code/Swift BIC for Access Bank Nigeria.

If you’re interested in receiving a bank wire from a foreign destination into your Access bank account, then you need to know the Access bank swift BIC.

This will ensure a smooth transfer of your funds from a foreign destination into your local bank account. As a matter of fact, most international institutions or individuals will not be able to process your payments if you can’t provide the SWIFT code of your local bank.

SWIFT provides a network that enables financial institutions worldwide to send and receive information about financial transactions in a secure, standardized and reliable environment.

BIC simply means Bank Identifier Code while SWIFT stands for Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications.

Both terms are indeed very long, therefore most people prefer to use the Acronym, SWIFT BIC.

Acess Bank SWIFT Code

The SWIFT Code for Access Bank Nigeria is ABNGNGLA. The code is valid irrespective of the branch in which you opened your Access Bank account.
