Samba Bank Swift Code & IBAN Generator

Samba Bank Limited's SWIFT/BIC code is SAMBPKKAXXX, and its IBAN bank code is SAMB — used to build a 24-character Pakistani IBAN from any Samba account number. This is not the same as SAMBSARI, which belongs to Saudi National Bank in Riyadh, a completely different bank.

Samba Bank's confirmed SWIFT/BIC code, plus a free tool that builds a valid Samba Bank IBAN from your account number.

  • SWIFT: SAMBPKKAXXX
  • IBAN Code: SAMB
  • 24-digit PK IBAN

Samba Bank's SWIFT/BIC code is SAMBPKKAXXX (8-character head-office form: SAMBPKKA), registered to the bank's head office at Floor Ground, Arif Habib House, 23 Maulvi Tamizuddin Khan Road, Karachi. Use this code together with the beneficiary's IBAN for any international wire into a Samba Bank account — set up the receiving account through Samba Online or the Roshan Digital Account platform if you don't already have one.

SWIFT code confirmed across multiple SWIFT/BIC registries (Wise, OpenBankingTracker, TheSwiftCodes) and cross-checked against Samba Bank's Karachi head-office address.

Double-check you have SAMBPKKA, not SAMBSARI — using the wrong one misdirects a real wire transfer. Samba Bank's former Saudi parent — now the Saudi National Bank — has its own, completely different SWIFT code: SAMBSARI, registered to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The two codes look similar at a glance (both start "SAMB") but route money to different banks in different countries. If you're sending to a Samba Bank Limited account in Pakistan, the code must start SAMBPKKA — never SAMBSARI. Since this isn't a typo a receiving bank will always catch, always confirm the exact SWIFT code with your recipient before sending an international transfer.
