Bank codes: A transit number is the Bank Identifier Code (BIC) used among banks in Canada to transfer funds. It is composed of a three-digit financial institution number which identifies your bank, and a five-digit transit number that identifies your specific bank branch.
Regulated by the Canadian Payments Association, Canadian transit numbers for paper transactions like checks appear in this format: XXXXX-YYY. XXXXX is a branch number, and YYY is an institution number.
For Electronic Fund Transactions (EFT), the format includes a leading zero, the institution number, then the branch number, all with no hyphens.
For example, if a check shows the transit number as XXXXX-YYY, the corresponding EFT code is 0YYYXXXXX.
You can find your financial institution number and transit number on your bank statement or on your checks.
Account Number: Your CAD bank account number should only include your account number; your bank account number should not include your transit number prefixed. Please contact your bank to confirm your bank account number.

Bank codes: A BRSTN code is the Bank Routing Symbol Transit Number, and is the popular term for a Bank Identifier Code (BIC) used among banks in the Philippines to transfer funds. It is a nine-digit code identifying your country, city, and bank.
When you set up direct to local bank payments, you will need to enter your bank's head office BRSTN code. We will use your account number and account holder information to route funds to your local branch. Subsidiary banks all use this same head office BRSTN code. If you enter your local branch's BRSTN code, you will get an error message.
Check the list for your local bank to identify your bank code.

SWIFT Bank Codes
Setting up your Direct to Local Bank account on Upwork may require a bank code. Bank codes differ by country; look in the list below look for to find yours. If you’re unsure or don’t see one that corresponds to your situation, you can check with your local bank for the most accurate information.
A SWIFT code is a popular term for a Bank Identifier Code (BIC). SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. It is an eight- or 11-digit code that identifies your country, city, bank, and (11-digit only) branch.
Eight-digit SWIFT codes: This will show the address of the bank's headquarters rather than your local branch. Your bank will then use your account number to get your funds to you.
11-digit SWIFT codes: May be required if your bank has several branches. When you set up your bank account as a payment method, enter all 11 characters unless the last three digits are XXX. Some banks will provide an 11-digit SWIFT code ending in XXX. This is a placeholder used by systems that don't accept eight-digit SWIFT codes and can be omitted from the form.
Ask your bank for the SWIFT code and bank account number you'll need to receive an incoming transfer. The SWIFT organization offers a lookup service. However, the best way to ensure proper routing of your funds is usually to contact your bank directly.
SWIFT Code Troubleshooting
When you enter a SWIFT code on the wire transfer registration form we check it against our bank's database and show you what we found.
If something doesn't match:
- Check the SWIFT code you entered for typos
- Check with your bank to ensure you have the correct SWIFT code
- Check with your bank to ensure you have their correct SWIFT-registered name and address
Name – Sometimes, your bank's officially-registered name isn't the same as its operating name.
Address – Some banks will give you a SWIFT code for their headquarters or parent branch location and then use your bank account to get you your funds.
If the bank name or address isn't correct:
- You may update the bank name or address information (but not both). Choose "Not your bank or branch?" to enter it manually.
- Always confirm the SWIFT code, bank name, and bank address with your bank before entering changes manually. Only do this if you're 100% certain you have the SWIFT code correct and believe our database is out of date (for example, if your branch recently moved to a new location or changed names).
If the bank isn't found or the bank name and address aren't correct: Contact Customer Support by going here if you're certain you have the correct SWIFT code, but our database isn't finding the correct bank.
