An IBAN or International Bank Account Number is a standardized international account number made up of up to 34 letters and numbers to identify bank accounts across countries. Each country has its own sequence, not exceeding 34 characters. IBAN is commonly used in Europe and other regions for making or receiving international payments.

An IBAN comprises data used to authenticate your account number, your bank’s country of origin, and other account information. During a payment, the code is validated to ensure the receiver exists. Transactions fail if an IBAN is invalid. With an IBAN checker, banks can confirm the number is error-free.

Do we need IBAN for Cyprus?

Yes, you'll usually need a Cyprus IBAN to send or receive SEPA payments, euro transfers, and international bank transfers connected to a Cypriot account. A local account number by itself may not give banks enough information to validate the payment. The IBAN combines the CY country code, check digits, bank code, branch code, and account number in one recognised format. A BIC or SWIFT code may also be requested.
