The SWIFT BIC is 8 or 11 alphanumeric characters: xxxxPLxx or xxxxPLxxxxx. It is recommended to state the purpose of payment.

IBAN: In Poland, the IBAN consists of 28 characters. It starts with the country code 'PL', followed by a two-digit checksum and the national account number, which includes the bank account number and other details. The format includes 8 alphanumeric characters followed by 16 numeric characters. An example of electronic format is PL12345678912345678912345678, and the print format is presented as PL12 3456 7891 2345 6789 1234 5678.
