BIC

Look up any bank at SWIFT.COM, enter their name and address, and the "Bank Identification Code" or "BIC" will be produced. SWIFT will also provide the reverse, enter the BIC, and it will give you the full name, address and contact details to the bank.

IBAN:

The 11 digit / alphanumeric account number is constructed by each bank. How they construct these account numbers are documented on Swift and available to paid subscribers. Typically, the first 4 is specific for the bank - BARC = Barcleys Bank, and then comes the country, GB, the currency of the account GBP, the sort code/ routing number, account category (current, saving, loan etc.) and the old account number.

Transfer between two bank accounts with the same currency, but between banks and countries is instant. Only countries that apply the European Commission\s Anti Money Laundry directive will have IBAN accounts and allow immediate transfer of funds. All transfer of funds in Europe is monitored, which is not allowed in the US, where the banks are responsible to uphold US Homeland Security. This makes transfer of funds in and out of the US cumbersome. Swift are discussing a new account number serie for "approved" accounts in other countries. It looks like China will beat the US in this. The banks have to guarantee that the funds they transfer are of non-criminal origin, and not to be use to fund terrorists and criminal activity.
