Parts of a Dominican Republic IBAN and their positions
Positions	Part	In the example
1–2	Country code	DO
3–4	Check digits	28
5–8	Bank code	BAGR
9–28	Account	00000001212453611324

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!c20!n reads:

Dominican Republic IBAN example

DO28 BAGR 0000 0001 2124 5361 1324 is the sample the SWIFT IBAN Registry publishes for Dominican Republic: a well-formed IBAN for showing the format, not a real account. Written electronically it has no spaces (DO28BAGR00000001212453611324); on paper it is printed in groups of four.

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

Move the country code and check digits to the end
BAGR00000001212453611324DO28
Replace each letter with two digits (A = 10 … Z = 35)
B = 11, A = 10, G = 16, R = 27, D = 13, O = 24
1110162700000001212453611324132428
Divide that number by 97 and keep the remainder
Remainder 1. A valid IBAN always leaves 1, so the check digits are right.
Where the check digits come from
Put 00 in their place (DO00…), repeat steps 1–3: remainder 70. The check digits are 98 − 70 = 28.

SEPA

Dominican Republic is not in the Single Euro Payments Area, so SEPA credit transfers and direct debits don’t reach DO IBANs.

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.

From a national account number: GET /api/v1/iban/check-digits?country=DO&bban=… or the MCP tool compute_iban_check_digits computes the check digits and the whole IBAN.
