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

Some international wire forms require it.

LOCAL PAYOUT OR DIRECT WIRE?

The same destination can ask for different details

Singapore does not use IBAN. Local SGD payouts may ask for the bank and account number. A direct international wire can also require bank and branch identifiers, a SWIFT/BIC and recipient address.

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.

OFFICIAL CHECKS

Sources for Singapore

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