MUFG Bank IFSC Code and MICR Code

MUFG Bank IFSC Code, MICR Code and SWIFT Code

The IFSC code, also known as the Indian Financial System Code, is an eleven-character alphanumeric code. It was introduced to the Indian banking system by the Reserve Bank of India to initiate seamless online fund transfers. The MUFG Bank IFSC code also falls under the same category and does similar functions. 

IFSC codes help in the identification of bank branches irrespective of the location. Therefore, each branch of MUFG bank comes with its individual IFSC codes for clear demarcation. 

The MICR code also plays an important part when it comes to cheque clearance. The MICR code is required to pass paper-based documents as against the IFSC code, which is needed for digital fund transfers.

MUFG Bank IFSC Code

The standard pattern of Indian IFSC codes is- the first four letters will represent the bank name, the middle character will be zero, and the last six characters will represent the branch name or location. 

The MUFG Bank IFSC code also follows the same pattern. For example, the MUFG Bank Chennai branch IFSC code is BOTM0CN3615. Here the first four letters BOTM are for the bank's name, the mid character, as you can see, is zero, and the last six characters are for the Chennai branch.
