BSB checker
Check an Australian BSB number's format before you send money: six digits, and which are the bank, state and branch. Free, no sign-up, nothing leaves your browser.
The starting number is only an example of the format. A BSB has no check digit, so this can't tell you whether a branch exists or which branch it is; confirm the code with the person you're paying or their bank.
What a BSB is
A BSB (Bank-State-Branch) number is a six-digit code that identifies a bank and branch in Australia. It is written as two groups of three, such as 123-456. The first two digits are the bank, the third is the state where the branch is, and the last three are the branch itself. It is used with an account number to send money within Australia.
Paying into Australia from abroad
Australia does not use IBANs. To send money there from another country, the sender's bank usually asks for the receiving bank's SWIFT code, plus the BSB and account number. Within Australia, many people can also be paid by PayID, such as a phone number or email linked to their account.
