How to check an IBAN from Bosnia and Herzegovina
Count the characters: a Bosnia and Herzegovina IBAN always has 20. Make sure it starts with BA, then paste it in the checker above: it verifies the two check digits with the mod 97 algorithm and the national structure. A single mistyped character is enough to make the check fail.
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.
