SWIFTSearch service (deprecated)

This service is now deprecated and has been replaced by the GlobalSearch service.

You use the SWIFTSearch service to search the global data for basic branch details or to look up a BIC.

You can perform an enhanced search by searching specific categories. The categories you can search are:

BIC - the unique BIC for each bank/branch. If you enter an 8 character BIC, Bank Wizard automatically appends the XXX to create the 11 character BIC before performing the search.
Country - the country name and the 2 character ISO country code
Bank - the bank name, branch name and other name
Address - the street, post code, city and province or state.

To search the details, you must supply:

the expression to search for. You can include up to 3 terms separated by spaces. To restrict the search to the categories, include the category before the term, separated with a colon (:). For example, to search for London in the Address fields, enter Address:London. You can also use wildcards at the end of the string; * to match multiple characters and ? to match single characters.
page - which page of results you want returned
pageSize - the number of results you want included in one page
reportString - user defined identification
itemisationID - user defined identification.

This service returns:

SwiftData - for each matching record this returns: Name, Address, BranchInformation, ZipCode, City, Country, ISOCountryCode, CountryStateProvince, IbanCountryCode, BranchBic, IbanBicCode and UniqueBic
Token - pass this token to Bank Wizard to retrieve the remaining pages of search results
NewToken - shows whether this request generated a new search token (1 - Yes, 0 - No)
Size - the total number of matching records.
