What is an IBAN Number in Brazil?

An IBAN is an International Bank Account Number. In Brazil, it puts local bank details into one standard format for international transfers, helping payment systems read the bank, branch, account, and ownership details correctly.

A Brazil IBAN starts with the country code BR and includes check digits, an ISPB bank code, branch code, account number, account type, and account holder type. Some transfers may also require the recipient bank’s BIC or SWIFT code.
