Bank of Punjab Swift Code — Confirmed, Plus Free IBAN Tool
BOP's official SWIFT/BIC code, and a free browser-based tool to generate your matching IBAN.
- BPUNPKKA
- Real ISO 7064 Algorithm
- Verified Sep 1, 2026
The BOP Swift code is what any bank abroad needs to route a wire transfer into a BOP account. Confirmed below, along with a free tool to generate the matching IBAN.
This tool generates your actual BOP IBAN from your account number, using the real ISO 7064 MOD-97 check-digit calculation — the same algorithm banks use to validate IBANs internationally. It runs entirely in your browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Enter your BOP account number to generate your IBAN for receiving international transfers or remittances.
Pakistani IBAN structure (PK + 2 check digits + 4-letter bank code + up to 16-digit account number, 24 characters total) follows the ISO 13616 standard used by all Pakistani banks. BOP's bank code is BPUN. Always confirm your generated IBAN against your bank statement or branch before using it for a transfer.

Individual BOP branches — including Taqwa Islamic Banking branches — may carry their own 11-character SWIFT codes ending in a specific branch suffix instead of the 8-character head-office code. If your remitter asks for a branch-specific code, confirm it with your branch rather than assuming the head-office code applies.
SWIFT/BIC and bank code confirmed from standard international SWIFT code directories cross-referencing BOP's registered BIC.
Why the IBAN Format Matters
Older-style account numbers work fine for domestic transfers within Pakistan, but international wire systems (SWIFT and most banks' cross-border payment rails) expect the standardized IBAN format specifically. Sending your plain account number to someone abroad instead of your IBAN is one of the most common reasons an international transfer gets rejected or delayed at the receiving end.
Common IBAN Mistakes to Avoid
The most frequent error when sharing a Pakistani IBAN internationally is sending the plain account number instead of the full 24-character IBAN, which causes the transfer to bounce or delay at the receiving bank. A close second is transposing digits when typing the IBAN manually instead of copying it directly — always copy-paste your generated IBAN rather than retyping it, and double-check it against your BOP account statement or passbook before sending it to anyone expecting to wire you funds.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is BOP's SWIFT code?
BOP's head-office SWIFT/BIC code is BPUNPKKA. Individual branches carry extended 11-character codes, such as BPUNPKKA002 for the Egerton Road branch in Lahore.
How is a BOP IBAN structured?
A BOP IBAN follows Pakistan's standard 24-character format: PK + 2 check digits + BPUN (bank code) + up to 16-digit account number, per the ISO 13616 IBAN standard used by every Pakistani bank.
Is the SWIFT code the same for every BOP branch?
The base 8-character SWIFT code (BPUNPKKA) is common across BOP, but for wire transfers requiring a branch-specific 11-character code, ask your specific branch — whether in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, or elsewhere — for its extended code.
Do I need both SWIFT code and IBAN for an international transfer?
Yes. The SWIFT/BIC code identifies BOP as the receiving bank in the global network, while the IBAN identifies your specific account within BOP — most international transfers require both.
Where do I find my BOP account number to generate an IBAN?
Your account number is printed on your BOP chequebook, debit card statement, or account opening form, and is also visible inside the digiBOP mobile app.
Is this IBAN generator tool official or safe to use?
This is an independent PakFinHub tool, not an official BOP service. It runs the calculation entirely in your browser and never transmits your account number anywhere, but always cross-check the result against your official bank statement before using it for a transfer.
