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

Recipient namerequiredExact account name
Use the registered account name.
Bank and branchrequired2 digits + 4 digits
These are the first two account-number groups.
Account and suffixrequired7 digits + 2 or 3 digits
Keep the suffix and any leading zeroes exactly as shown.
SWIFT/BICconditional8 or 11 characters
Follow the bank's incoming international-payment instructions.
LOCAL PAYOUT OR DIRECT WIRE?
The same destination can ask for different details
New Zealand does not use IBAN. A local account is commonly shown as bank, branch, account and suffix groups. A direct international wire may also request a SWIFT/BIC.
Prefer their banking screen, official statement or bank-issued incoming-payment instructions.
Use the official source links below. A passing format is not an institution match.
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.
