`bic_to_lei`

Pack: gleif · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/gleif/mcp

Resolve a SWIFT/BIC bank identifier code (8 or 11 characters, e.g. “DEUTDEFF” or “DEUTDEFFXXX”) to the bank’s legal entity: LEI, registered legal name, jurisdiction, and status, via the official GLEIF BIC-to-LEI mapping. Answers “which legal entity is behind this BIC” / “LEI for SWIFT code X” for cross-border bank identity (KYC, counterparty due diligence, payments). A branch BIC that has no mapping of its own falls back to the head office (the trailing “XXX” form) and says so.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`bic`	string	yes	SWIFT/BIC code, 8 or 11 characters, e.g. “DEUTDEFF”, “CHASUS33” or “DEUTDEFFXXX”. 8-character codes are treated as the head office (“XXX” branch).
