Tamilnad Mercantile Bank IFSC Code, MICR Code and SWIFT Code

The advent of internet banking has made fund transfer a seamless experience. The advanced technologies have enabled us to use multiple banking facilities at our fingertips without having to stand in long queues. TMB IFSC code is also crucial in online fund transfer modes like NEFT or RTGS. 

The Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) was initiated and administered by the Reserve Bank of India. It was introduced to enable an error-free and smooth fund transfer within minutes with just a few clicks. 

This blog will discuss various features and benefits of the TMB IFSC code and MICR code. You will also learn about TMB's multiple fund transfer modes. If you don't want to miss out on any of the details, make sure to read till the end of this article. 

Tamilnad Mercantile Bank (TMB) IFSC Code

TMB IFSC code is an eleven-character code that comprises both numbers and letters. The Tamilnad IFSC code has three parts in it, like most other IFSC codes.

The first four characters are letters that stand for the bank name. The fifth character is zero, which is kept for future use; the last six characters are numbers that correspond to the branch name. 

The IFSC code for all branches of the TMB bank is different, especially the last six numbers, as it helps in identifying the branch location. For example, the TMB Bank Madhya Pradesh City Pithampur branch IFSC code is TMBL0000322.

Here the first part, TMBL, stands for the bank name Tamilnad, the middle character is zero going by the format, and the last five numbers, 00322, represent the Pithampur branch. 

You will need the TMB IFSC code while making any fund transfer via NEFT and RTGS. Without entering the IFSC code, you won't be able to send money as the IFSC code streamlines the fund transfer without any error. 

Tamilnad Mercantile Bank MICR Code

MICR code is another vital aspect of fund transfers. However, the function of the MICR code is slightly different from the IFSC code. The MICR code is not related to online fund transfer; instead, it is related to paper-based documents like cheque clearing. 

You don't need the TMB MICR code during NEFT and RTGS or IMPS. You will need it during cheque clearance and to avoid any discrepancies. The MICR is printed using magnetic ink technology, which locates the branches irrespective of their location. 

TMB MICR code is a nine-digit code containing numerics only. Each branch of the TMB bank has different MICR codes, just like the IFSC codes. 

The MICR code of the Chittoor branch, Andhra Pradesh, is 560060010, and the MICR code of the Guntur branch Andhra Pradesh is 520060102. As you can see, both the MICR codes of the Chittoor and Guntur branches of Andhra Pradesh are different from each other.  

Tamilnad Mercantile Bank SWIFT Code

The purpose of the SWIFT code is quite different from the IFSC and MICR codes. You can't use the SWIFT code for making domestic fund transfers as it is primarily dedicated to international money transactions. 

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Telecommunication (SWIFT) assigned these codes to banks for international transactions and exchanging messages between financial institutions. 

The SWIFT code is also called the Bank Identifier Code (BIC). The BIC or SWIFT code of Tamilnad Mercantile Bank is eleven character code. 

The first four letters stand for the bank code; the following two letters are for the country, the next two letters symbolize the location, and the remaining three letters are for the branch code. For example, the SWIFT code of TMB bank Chennai Branch is TMBLINBBCHE.
