Payment Instructions

General instructions for international payments to banks in FINLAND: To send payments to Finland, remitters should ensure all necessary bank details are obtained from the beneficiary, including SWIFT BIC, IBAN, and the beneficiary bank's address. For euro payments under SEPA standards, both IBAN and SWIFT BIC are required. The Ordering Customer must provide their account number, full name without initials, and address to prevent payment delays. Similarly, the Beneficiary Customer section should include the IBAN, full name without initials, and address. The IBAN is mandatory for Finnish accounts and must follow the specific structure. The Beneficiary Bank section must include the SWIFT BIC with the branch identifier, along with full bank details. SWIFT BIC, consisting of 8 or 11 characters (format xxxxFIxx or xxxxFIxxxxx), is essential for routing payments.

IBAN: In Finland, the IBAN is composed of 18 characters. The structure is FI2!n6!n7!n1!n, starting with the country code 'FI', followed by a two-digit checksum, a six-digit bank and branch code, a seven-digit account number, and one control digit. Example of an electronic format: FI9812345600000789. Print format example: FI98 1234 5600 0007 89.
