15 June 2012 A Bank State Branch (often abbreviated and used in conversation as "BSB") is the name used in Australia and New Zealand for a bank code, which is a branch identifier. Both countries use an identifier consisting of a six digit numerical code that identifies an individual branch of an Australian and New Zealand financial institution. The BSB is normally used in association with the bank account number. However, the New Zealand and Australian systems are incompatible. For international transfers a SWIFT identifier is used in addition to the BSB identifier and a bank account number.
