Reading the table

Length counts every character without spaces. It is fixed for a country: Norway has the shortest IBAN (15) and Russia the longest (33).
SEPA: 37 of these countries and territories are in the Single Euro Payments Area, where euro payments between banks use only the IBAN.
Examples are made up to show the pattern. They are not real accounts.

What the lengths look like

The 89 layouts in the registry use 18 different lengths. The most common is 28 characters, used by 12 countries; next come 24 characters (11) and 22 characters (10). The longest layouts are those of Russia (33), Saint Lucia (32), Malta (31) and Seychelles (31). Just above the shortest, Norway (15), Belgium has 16. The length is never a choice of the bank or the customer: every IBAN of a country has the same number of characters, which is why a checker can reject an IBAN on its length alone before doing any arithmetic.

Letters and digits

Every IBAN starts with two letters and two check digits. After that, the national part differs. In 39 of the 89 layouts it is made of digits only; in 28 it has places that must be letters, typically the letters of the bank's code; the rest allow a mix of letters and digits. Each country page shows the layout position by position, with the bank part and the account part marked.

SEPA and the rest

37 of the listed countries and territories are in the Single Euro Payments Area and 52 are not. Inside SEPA, a euro transfer needs only the IBAN. For the others the IBAN still names the account, but the sending bank normally also asks for the SWIFT code of the receiving bank. Being in the registry does not mean a country uses the euro, and using IBAN does not make a transfer free or instant: charges and speed are set by the banks.

One code for more than one place

Some territories have no letters of their own and use the layout of a larger country: Finland (FI) also covers Aland Islands, France (FR) also covers French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Reunion, French Polynesia, French Southern Territories, Mayotte, New Caledonia, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Martin (French part), Saint Pierre and Miquelon and Wallis and Futuna and United Kingdom (GB) also covers Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey.

If a country is missing

Not every country uses IBAN. India, the United States and many others identify accounts in their own way; the page on countries without IBAN explains what to give instead. To test a full IBAN that someone has sent you, paste it into the checker: it tells you whether the length and the check digits are right for the country.
