Does the beneficiary address really matter for SWIFT transfers if IBAN and SWIFT/BIC are correct?

Other

I’m about to make a SWIFT transfer for a university exam fee. I have the correct IBAN, SWIFT/BIC, and beneficiary name, but the bank flagged the beneficiary address as “mismatched”.

Will the transfer still go through if the address doesn’t exactly match the bank’s records?

How critical is the address in practice for SWIFT transfers?
