No, BIC (Bank Identifier Code) and SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) codes are not the same. BIC codes identify specific banks, while SWIFT codes are used to identify specific branches of banks for international transactions.
SWIFT codes are used for identifying banks branches, the codes are needed when moving money between banks. The SWIFT code for the Bank Of America Boston, MA branch is BOFAUSV1UST.
The two banks have merged and consequently some branches are using the same SWIFT codes.

To date there are no postal codes for any towns or cities in Botswana. If it is compulsory to put in a postal code in order for an application to go through (as is sometimes the case when filling things out on the internet), 0000 should suffice as a postal code for any town or city in Botswana until such time as the postal system introduces codes.
The SWIFT Bank Identification Code is an internationally-documented system of codes for identifying banks (see ISO 9362). Swift codes are commonly used to identify the banks included in an international wire transfer. It is not the only coding system for banks - individual countries also have their own sets of codes which are applied to identify banks in national interbank business. For example, ABA numbers (or routing codes) identify banks in the US and Canada, Sort Codes identify banks in the UK. Check for details at: Http://www.swift.com
