The English phrase 'bic code' is translated into Spanish as código BIC.
Did you know?
- In many Spanish-speaking countries, the código BIC is a prerequisite for receiving 'remesas', the specific term for money sent home by migrants.
- The word código comes from the Latin caudex, which originally referred to the trunk of a tree and later to the wooden tablets used for writing.
- If you are filling out forms in Spain, you might see BIC used interchangeably with SWIFT, even though they are technically distinct identifiers.
