# Look up a bank by routing number or SWIFT/BIC

> Autocompletes the beneficiary bank from an embedded public bank directory — pass exactly one of `routing_number` (9 digits, US only) or `swift` (8 or 11 characters; an `XXX` suffix is normalized to the head office). Use it to autodetect the bank while the sender types the routing number or SWIFT/BIC in payout or counterparty forms: a 404 means "not in the directory" and the form should simply stay manual. Static data served with `Cache-Control: public, max-age=86400`; safe to cache for a day.

  title: CBPay API
  version: '2.62'
  description: |
    CBPay is a multi-currency payment platform: fiat payouts and collections
    across Latin America, internal transfers, on-chain funding and
    withdrawals, and KYC screening. Every account holds four independent
    virtual balances — USDT (the operating currency), USDC, BTC and GOLD
    (grams of fine gold) — convertible on demand with swaps.
    Payouts and service fees can be paid from any of the four balances
    (`PUT /v1/settlement` or per-payout `settlement_asset`), and payins
    can auto-convert to the asset of your choice (`default_payin_asset`).

    All amounts are decimal strings in each currency's precision (6 decimals
    for USDT/USDC/GOLD, 8 for BTC). Errors always return
    `{"error": "<code>", "message": "<detail>"}`.
