How to find branch name from account number?

That’s a common challenge when you’re dealing with bank transfers! Unfortunately, you cannot reliably or directly find the branch name just from the account number in India or most countries. Account numbers are unique to the account holder and their specific branch, but they are designed to be a security measure, not a publicly traceable address. The account number itself doesn't contain a universally readable code for the branch. ### The Key to Finding the Branch What you can use is the IFSC Code (Indian Financial System Code), which is always linked to the branch: 1. Find the IFSC Code: If you have the IFSC code associated with the account, you can use any major bank's website or a reliable third-party IFSC code search tool to type in the code. 2. Retrieve Details: The search result will instantly tell you the Bank Name, the Branch Name, and the Address associated with that 11-character code. If you only have the account number, you must ask the account holder for their IFSC code or the branch name. No bank will provide that information to a third party for security reasons.
