What does an IBAN look like?
To make international payments you'll require the recipient's International Bank Account Number (IBAN). IBANs are used to identify accounts for international payments made in Europe as well as some other countries.
IBANs can vary from country to country. They are unique because the alphanumeric code is connected to only one account. The IBAN includes all the information needed for a successful transfer: the country code, check digits, bank code, branch code and account number.
IBANs will have up to 34 alphanumeric characters, consisting of a:
- two-letter country code (for example, IE for Ireland)
- two-digit control number, used to catch errors
- maximum of 30 alphanumeric characters that identify the bank and the account number
You can use an IBAN and BIC to make currency payments within the UK however, if you're making sterling payments in the UK, you should use a sort code and account number.
