# Turning `iso9362_bic` into an enrichment dataset: `ext_iso9362_bic`

The `default` collection is focused on datasets representing risk, and includes entities within those sources as well as the enrichment of those and related entities. `iso9362_bic` was initially added to `default` because it's relatively small, but since it's purely reference data, we've decided to give it the same treatment as other larger reference datasets.

To that end, we're planning to remove the full [Business Identifier Code (BIC) Reference Data (`iso9362_bic`)](/datasets/iso9362_bic/) from the `default` collection on June 15th, 2026. It will be replaced by the new [Business Identifier Code (BIC) Reference Data (`ext_iso9362_bic`)](/datasets/ext_iso9362_bic/) [enrichment dataset](/datasets/enrichers/), containing the risk-related entities from this source.
