How banks create IBAN codes

Banks and financial institutions generate IBANs to uniquely identify individual accounts. These IBANs amalgamate your local bank particulars into a single string of characters, facilitating seamless identification of your account during transactions.

Typically, IBANs commence with a country code and conclude with specific bank account information. This utility serves to reveal the bank's name, extract pertinent local account details, and elucidate the significance of each section.

When do you need an IBAN?

When conducting international transactions, many European banks require the use of an IBAN for enhanced security and efficiency. This standardized system ensures that your funds reach their intended destination reliably.

While an increasing number of banks worldwide are embracing this system, additional details may be necessary when sending money to countries outside Europe.

What happens if you enter the wrong number?

Each IBAN includes two check numbers after the country code, which banks utilize to verify the format's correctness. Our system performs the same validation process, enabling us to confirm whether your IBAN adheres to the correct format.

However, it's important to note that an IBAN being in the correct format doesn't guarantee its existence or accuracy in representing the intended destination.

When inputting a non-existent IBAN for a money transfer, your bank may levy a fee. Additionally, if the IBAN is valid but incorrect for the intended recipient, your funds could be directed to the wrong account. Always verify the IBAN with your recipient or bank before proceeding with the transaction.
