What's the difference between SWIFT and BIC?

They refer to the same thing. SWIFT is the organization name, BIC (Bank Identifier Code) is the official name for the code.

How many digits is a BIC code?

BIC codes come in 8-digit (bank+country+location) and 11-digit (includes branch) formats.

Can the validator identify all banks?

This tool primarily validates format. Some country codes have annotations. Full bank database requires professional services.
