SWIFT Codes for All Major Banks in Hong Kong [2025]

When sending or receiving international payments, you’ll often be asked for a SWIFT code—also known as a BIC (Bank Identifier Code). This code helps banks identify the recipient’s institution and ensures that funds are routed correctly across borders.

To make things easier for you, we’ve compiled a list of SWIFT codes for major banks in Hong Kong, along with those of popular financial services providers such as Statrys and Wise. Whether you’re a business managing cross-border transactions or an individual sending money overseas, this guide can help you avoid delays and failed transfers.

You can usually find your bank’s SWIFT code on your bank statement, in your online banking platform or application, or by contacting customer service. Some banks also publish their SWIFT codes on their official websites.

Keep in mind that some banks, like HSBC, use different SWIFT codes for different banking services, so make sure to double-check the code before making any international transfers to avoid delays.

Once the transfer is completed, you can also request an MT103 document from your bank. This standard SWIFT confirmation includes full transaction details such as the payment reference, sender, and recipient, which is useful for tracking the transfer or providing proof of payment to the recipient.

There you have it! These are the SWIFT/BIC codes for the major banks and financial institutions you’re most likely to come across when making SWIFT transfers to Hong Kong.

If you're sending funds to a client or business that uses a smaller or less common bank, don’t assume they don’t have a SWIFT code. Most licensed banks and authorised financial institutions in Hong Kong do, it’s just that their codes may not be as widely published.

When in doubt, it’s always best to confirm the correct SWIFT/BIC code directly with the recipient or their bank before making an international transfer. Using the wrong code can result in delays, additional fees, or even failed transactions.
