What ss an IBAN and what does it look like?

IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is a standardized international account format that enables foreign payments. Each bank account has its own assigned IBAN.

IBAN code structure

2 characters - country code (e.g. GB for the United Kingdom)

2 characters - check digits used for programmatic validation (helps avoid typos)

Up to 30 characters - bank code and account number (depending on the country)

IBAN format types:

  • Electronic format - without spaces

  • Printed format - with a space after every four characters for easier reading

What Is SWIFT (BIC)?

SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) is the organization that issues unique bank identification codes, called BIC (Bank Identifier Code). This code allows secure and fast processing of international payments.
