Bank State Branch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Bank-State-Branch identifying code (often abbreviated as BSB) is a six digit numerical code used within Australia that identifies an individual branch of a financial institution.
The format of the code is as follows:
- First two digits specify the parent financial institution.
- Third digit specifies the state where the branch in located
- Fourth, fifth and sixth digits specify the branch
For example, the BSB "033088" actually breaks down to the following:
- 03 = Westpac Banking Corporation
- 3 = Victoria
- 088 = 383 Chapel Street, Prahran
While banks usually follow this system, building societies and credit unions often do not. Building societies and former ones start with 63xxxx and credit unions 80xxxx. The state code does not always apply eg 633xxx is for Bendigo Bank which started as a building society in Victoria however 638xxx is for Queensland based Heritage Building Society. A financial institution may also use one centralised BSB for all accounts. Suncorp uses 484799 for all deposit accounts regardless of which branch or state the account was opened.
