If you have an account with ICICI Bank, you don't need to visit your home branch. You can generate and view your exact SWIFT and remittance routing details instantly using the iMobile Pay mobile banking app.
In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process to fetch your ICICI Bank SWIFT details online.
What is a SWIFT Code & Why Do You Need It?
A SWIFT Code (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) is an international identification code used by banks worldwide to send and receive wire transfers.
When receiving money from overseas:
a) SWIFT Code identifies the recipient bank (ICICI Bank).
b) Nostro Account Details route foreign currency through partner banks before converting and crediting it to your local savings or current account in INR.

Understanding ICICI Bank's Nostro Account System
Many users wonder why the remittance receipt mentions another bank's name alongside ICICI.
ICICI Bank holds Nostro accounts (foreign currency accounts maintained in foreign banks) across major global financial hubs. When a sender transfers foreign currency (such as USD from the United States):
a) The funds are first credited to ICICI Bank’s corresponding Nostro account in that country.
b) ICICI Bank processes the currency exchange.
c) The converted amount is credited directly to your domestic account in Indian Rupees (INR).
Using the details generated in the iMobile app ensures your sender's bank routes the payment through the correct intermediary channel without unnecessary delays or bounce fees.
