International Bank Account Number (IBAN)

What’s an International Bank Account Number (IBAN)?

• The International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is a digital organization for customer’s accounts in the banking sector at the national level based on international standards for account numbers, which achieves a recognized national standardization for the number of account number digits.
• It is not a new account number, but rather an improved version of the customer’s current account number, which enables banking systems to read these numbers easily, accurately, and quickly.
• IBAN is used for incoming and outgoing money transfers.

• It helps with applying the direct automated execution of money transfers, which leads to the reduction of manual processes and any errors resulting from them.
• Limits money transfer errors resulting from the incorrect account number.
• It is easy for bank customers to carry out money transfers.
• Reduces costs and improves operational efficiency in processing transfers.
