IBAN format · AD

Andorra IBAN format: 24 characters.

Andorra IBANs have 24 characters: the country code AD, two check digits and a 20-character BBAN, the national account number, laid out as 4!n4!n12!c.

The BBAN, segment by segment

The registry writes the BBAN in SWIFT notation: n is a digit, a an upper-case letter, c a letter or digit, and the ! means a fixed length. 4!n4!n12!c reads:

Andorra IBAN example

AD12 0001 2030 2003 5910 0100 is the sample the SWIFT IBAN Registry publishes for Andorra: a well-formed IBAN for showing the format, not a real account. Written electronically it has no spaces (AD1200012030200359100100); on paper it is printed in groups of four.

Its check digits, worked through with ISO 7064 mod 97-10:

  1. Move the country code and check digits to the end

    00012030200359100100AD12
  2. Replace each letter with two digits (A = 10 … Z = 35)

    A = 10, D = 13

    00012030200359100100101312
  3. Divide that number by 97 and keep the remainder

    Remainder 1. A valid IBAN always leaves 1, so the check digits are right.

  4. Where the check digits come from

    Put 00 in their place (AD00…), repeat steps 1–3: remainder 86. The check digits are 98 − 86 = 12.

SEPA

Andorra is in the Single Euro Payments Area, so SEPA credit transfers and direct debits can reach AD IBANs; whether a given bank takes part is up to that bank.

What the format can and can’t tell you

  • Valid means the structure and check digits are right — not that the account exists or can receive payments.
  • National check digits inside the BBAN (e.g. the French RIB key, or the Spanish, Belgian and Italian CIN digits) are not verified.
  • Bank and branch codes are read from their positions; they are not looked up in a bank directory.
