Kbank DD

I am trying to set up a direct debit payment from the UK into my Kbank, I cannot get through to them on the phone the Live chat is a robot and not answering my question and the email I sent will take up to 10 days

My question is does the swift code need to contain the main bank code or the branch code

With best Regards

Colin
