“Conditional” means the field depends on the provider, currency or payment rail.

LOCAL PAYOUT OR DIRECT WIRE?

The same destination can ask for different details

Australia does not use IBAN. Local AUD payouts normally use a BSB and account number. A direct international wire may request the bank's SWIFT/BIC.

1Get the details from the recipient

Prefer their banking screen, official statement or bank-issued incoming-payment instructions.

2Check the institution separately

Use the official source links below. A passing format is not an institution match.

3Reconfirm any change

Call through a trusted number, not contact details contained in the payment-change message.

Use these for the institution, branch or national format. A directory result still does not identify the recipient account.
