You would need an 8-digit or 11-digit letter associated with your bank and its branch to receive or send money from abroad. It is called a SWIFT code. A sender would ask you for it.

While the swift codes of other banks in Nigeria are 8-digit e.g GTBINGLA for Guaranty Trust Bank or GTB in Nigeria (now Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc), Kuda Bank’s swift code – KUDANGBA234 – is 11-digit, which is a combination of letters and numbers.

How to get your bank’s SWIFT code:

Most times, you can find this information online. It isn’t hidden information. Simply use a combination of your bank name and “swift code” and the code will pop up on Google search e.g “Sterling Bank Swift code”
