Itaú Unibanco SWIFT Code: ITAUBRSP

Itaú Unibanco SWIFT Code: ITAUBRSP

The SWIFT/BIC code for Itaú Unibanco is ITAUBRSP. ITAU identifies Itaú Unibanco, BR stands for Brazil, and SP is the location code for São Paulo, the bank's headquarters city. This code routes international wire transfers to Itaú accounts in Brazil.

Itaú Unibanco is the largest private bank in Brazil and the largest bank in Latin America by market capitalization. Formed through the 2008 merger of Banco Itaú and Unibanco, it serves over 55 million clients and is a primary channel for BRL-denominated international payments.

Sending an International Wire to Itaú Unibanco

To wire money to an Itaú Unibanco account, you'll need the recipient's full name, their branch number (agência) and account number, the SWIFT code ITAUBRSP, and the recipient's CPF or CNPJ tax identification number. Itaú's head office address is Praça Alfredo Egydio de Souza Aranha, 100, São Paulo, SP 04344-902, Brazil.

International wires to Itaú in BRL require currency conversion and are subject to Central Bank of Brazil regulations. Settlement typically takes 2 to 4 business days. Transfers in USD to Itaú's US-based accounts may settle faster.

Itaú Fees and Brazilian FX Rules

Itaú Unibanco charges fees for incoming international wires that depend on the currency, amount, and account type. Like all Brazilian banks, Itaú applies IOF (financial operations tax) to foreign exchange transactions — typically 0.38% for most transfers.

Brazil requires that all international wire transfers include supporting documentation, such as invoices or service agreements. Itaú's foreign exchange desk can assist with compliance, but the documentation requirement means transfers take longer than in countries without these controls.
