IFSC Lookup

IFSC & MICR Code API

Free JSON API — no API key, no rate limits for reasonable use.

Use the IFSC Lookup API to integrate Indian bank branch data directly into your application. Look up branches by IFSC code or MICR code. Each request returns the full branch record including address, MICR code, SWIFT code, and supported payment methods (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, UPI). No authentication required.
