A routing number is the term for bank codes in Canada.

Routing numbers consist of eight numerical digits with a dash between the fifth and sixth digit for paper financial documents encoded with magnetic ink character recognition and nine numerical digits without dashes for electronic funds transfers.

Routing numbers are regulated by Payments Canada, formerly known as the Canadian Payments Association, to allow easy identification of the branch location and financial institution associated with an account.

The International Financial Services Centre (or IFSC) began in 1987 as a special economic zone on a derelict 11 hectare site near the centre of Dublin, with EU approval to apply a 10% corporate tax rate for designated financial services activities on the site.

Before the expiry of this EU approval in 2005, the Irish Government legislated in 1998/99 to effectively "turn the entire country into an IFSC" by reducing the overall Irish corporate tax rate from 32% to 12.5% (full effect by 2003).

The legal requirement for a specific IFSC geographic area was thus removed, and the term International Financial Services ("IFS") sector is now sometimes used.

A Bank State Branch (often referred to as "BSB") is the name used in Australia for a bank code, which is a branch identifier.

The BSB is normally used in association with the account number system used by each financial institution.

The structure of the BSB + account number does not permit for account numbers to be transferable between financial institutions.

While similar in structure, the New Zealand and Australian systems are only used in domestic transactions and are incompatible with each other.

For international transfers, a SWIFT code is used in addition to the BSB and account number.
