First Republic Bank SWIFT Code: FRBKUS6S

The SWIFT/BIC code for First Republic Bank is FRBKUS6S. FRBK identifies First Republic Bank, US indicates the United States, and 6S is the San Francisco location code. This code was used for international wire transfers to First Republic accounts.

First Republic was seized by regulators in May 2023 and its deposits and most assets were acquired by JPMorgan Chase. The SWIFT code FRBKUS6S may still route through JPMorgan systems for legacy accounts, but new international wires should confirm routing with JPMorgan directly.

First Republic's High-Net-Worth Focus

First Republic specialized in private banking, private business banking, and wealth management for high-net-worth individuals and their businesses. The bank was known for its white-glove service and relationship-driven approach to international banking.

International wire transfers at First Republic typically involved real estate proceeds, trust distributions, and investment-related transfers rather than high-volume commercial payment flows.

Post-Acquisition Wire Routing

Following the JPMorgan Chase acquisition, former First Republic clients were migrated to JPMorgan systems. International wires previously routed via FRBKUS6S now typically route through JPMorgan's SWIFT code CHASUS33, though some legacy routing may persist.

If you need to send a wire to a former First Republic account, contact the recipient to confirm whether their account now uses JPMorgan's SWIFT code CHASUS33 or retains the FRBKUS6S routing.
