# BIC/SWIFT Numbers for Testing

When you test API calls for creating beneficiaries or payouts in the sandbox, you can use specific BIC/SWIFT numbers to simulate successful responses and errors in the production environment.

BIC/SWIFT Number for Successful Response

Use this BIC/SWIFT number in the sandbox to simulate a successful response:

- **BARCGB22**

BIC/SWIFT Numbers for Errors

Use the following BIC/SWIFT numbers in the sandbox to simulate errors:

| IBAN | Type of Error |
| --- | --- |
| **BARCGB23** | INVALID_SWIFT_BIC(NOT_FOUND) The BIC/SWIFT number was not recognized. |
| **BARCGB22A** | INVALID_SWIFT_BIC(LENGTH) Length of BIC/SWIFT is not valid, and must be either 8 or 11 characters long. |

Examples

- - Create Beneficiary with Vaild BIC/SWIFT
