FAQ

Questions about this tool

What is an IFSC code?

The Indian Financial System Code is an 11-character code that identifies a bank branch for NEFT, RTGS and IMPS transfers. The first four letters are the bank, the fifth character is always zero, and the last six identify the branch: in SBIN0000300, SBIN is State Bank of India and 000300 its Mumbai Main branch.

Where do I find the IFSC of my own account?

On your cheque book and passbook, and under account details in your net banking or mobile banking app. You can also search for your branch above.

What is the difference between IFSC and MICR?

IFSC is used for electronic transfers (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS). MICR is the 9-digit code printed at the bottom of cheques and used to clear them. Both identify the same branch.

What happens if I use the wrong IFSC?

Transfers are credited by account number, so a wrong IFSC usually makes the payment fail and come back, typically within a few hours to two working days. If the IFSC belongs to a different bank, the transfer is rejected. Confirm the IFSC with the payee before a first payment.

Do IFSC codes change?

Yes. When banks merge, such as Dena and Vijaya Bank into Bank of Baroda or Syndicate Bank into Canara Bank, the old codes are retired and the branches get new ones. This finder is built from RBI's branch lists and refreshed regularly.

Is my search sent anywhere?

No. The branch list is downloaded to your browser and searched there; what you type is not sent anywhere.

How do I pay vendors without looking up IFSC codes every time?

With Open, each vendor's bank account is checked once and payouts go from any of your connected bank accounts, one at a time or in bulk.
