Frequently Asked Questions

What is Aktia Bank's BIC (SWIFT code)?

HELSFIHH. Written with the head-office branch code it is HELSFIHHXXX; both forms reach the same bank. A euro transfer within SEPA needs only the IBAN.

What is Aktia Bank's bank code?

Aktia Bank holds 2 of them; 405 is one. The code sits in positions 5 to 7 of an IBAN from Finland, so the IBAN itself shows which one an account uses.

How long are Aktia Bank IBANs?

18 characters, like every IBAN from Finland: the country code FI, two check digits, the bank code (3 digits) and the account number (11 digits).

Can I send an instant transfer to Aktia Bank?

Yes. The European Payments Council lists Aktia Bank in SEPA Instant Credit Transfer since 4 May 2020, so an instant euro transfer from a participating bank reaches its accounts in seconds.

Does Aktia Bank confirm the payee's name?

Yes. It answers Verification of Payee requests (since 10 September 2025), so the payer's bank can compare the name entered with the account holder's name before a euro transfer is sent.

Arkadiagatan 4-6 A, 00100 Helsingfors, FI-00100 Helsinki, according to GLEIF.
