SWIFT IBAN Registry
IBAN formats and lengths, country by country.
All 89 countries in the SWIFT IBAN Registry: how long their IBANs are, how the national account number (the BBAN) is laid out, whether they are in SEPA, and an example. Open a country for its bank and branch code positions and its example worked through.

* Albania, Moldova, Montenegro and North Macedonia joined the SEPA schemes in October 2025 and Serbia in May 2026; fewer banks there take part so far, so check the EPC’s register of scheme participants for the receiving bank.
How to read an IBAN format
- Every IBAN starts with the two-letter ISO country code and two check digits; the rest is the BBAN, the account number in its national form.
- The BBAN format is SWIFT notation:
na digit,aan upper-case letter,ca letter or digit, and!a fixed length.8!n10!n(Germany) is eight digits then ten. - Electronic IBANs have no spaces; printed ones are split into groups of four. Both are the same IBAN.
- The check digits (mod 97) catch almost every typo, but a valid IBAN only proves the format — not that the account exists.
The IBAN validator checks any of these formats in your browser, and computes check digits from a country and BBAN.
SEPA countries
42 registry countries are in the Single Euro Payments Area: Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Vatican City State. Being in SEPA means SEPA credit transfers and direct debits in euro can reach their IBANs, whatever the local currency, through the banks that take part in each scheme.
Source: the SWIFT IBAN Registry (ISO 13616), transcribed and checked against each country’s registry example — the same table the IBAN validator, the REST API and the MCP server use. Territories that use another country’s prefix (French overseas departments use FR; Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man use GB) are not listed separately. Informational only.
