    Have you called telephone banking to double check with them? Also, should be on statements.

    With something as important as an international payment, wouldn't it be preferable to find out the information first-hand from your bank, rather than going on what a stranger on the internet claims?

    And click on BIC Search Light

    If you enter the Swift Code into that it tell you which branch its connected to and you used to be about to search for a Swift Code if you need one....it's a few years since I've used BIC
