IBAN
IBAN checker
Paste an IBAN: we verify the length, the check digits and the structure of the country. Nothing is sent or stored.
Length, check digits and structure are correct. This does not prove that the account exists or belongs to a given person.
What an IBAN is
The IBAN (International Bank Account Number) identifies a bank account in an unambiguous way across borders. It starts with a two-letter country code, followed by two check digits and the national account number, which contains the bank code, often a branch code, and the account itself. Its length depends on the country: 15 characters in Norway, 27 in Italy and France, up to 33 in Russia.
The two check digits are computed with the ISO 7064 mod 97-10 algorithm. They catch almost every typing error: a wrong digit, two digits swapped, a missing character. That is what this checker verifies, together with the length and the structure of each country. It cannot tell whether the account is open or who owns it: only the bank can.

Questions
Is checking an IBAN here safe?
Yes. The check runs entirely in your browser: the IBAN is never sent to our servers or stored.
Does a valid IBAN mean the account exists?
No. A valid IBAN only means that the number is well-formed. Whether the account is open and who owns it can only be confirmed by the bank that holds it.
Where is the bank code inside an IBAN?
Right after the four opening characters, in a position that depends on the country. The country pages below show exactly where the bank code and the account number sit.
