The SWIFT code for SpareBank 1 varies depending on the specific regional bank entity or local savings bank within the broader SpareBank 1 alliance in Norway. For instance, the main SWIFT code for SpareBank 1 SR-Bank is SPRONO22XXX, while SpareBank 1 SMN utilizes the BIC code SPTRNO22. Because the alliance is composed of independently operated regional banks cooperating under a shared brand, senders must verify the exact regional entity—such as Østlandet, Nord-Norge, or Buskerud-Vestfold—to ensure the correct branch-specific or head office SWIFT code is used for international wire transfers.
