Free IBAN Checker — Validate Any IBAN Before Sending Money

You're about to send money overseas. You've got the recipient's IBAN—a long string of letters and numbers—but are you sure it's right?

One wrong digit can bounce your transfer, trigger fees, and cost you days of back-and-forth with the bank. Better to check before you send.

Validate Any IBAN in Seconds

We built a free IBAN Checker that validates any IBAN instantly. Enter the code and get confirmation that it's valid—plus a breakdown of the country, check digits, and bank account number.

No signup. No limits. No data ever leaves your device.

What You Get

When you check an IBAN, you'll see:

• Validation status — Is this a real, properly formatted IBAN?
• Country — Which country issued the IBAN
• Check digits — The two digits that verify the number is correct
• BBAN — The Basic Bank Account Number (the account-specific part)

The tool validates using the official MOD-97 checksum algorithm—the same math banks use. This catches typos, transposed digits, and invalid numbers before you ever submit that transfer.

116 Countries Supported

IBANs are used across Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Africa and the Caribbean. Our checker supports all 116 countries in the IBAN system, each with its own length requirements—from 15 characters (Norway) to 31 (Malta). The tool knows the correct format for every country.

100% Private

Everything runs in your browser. Your IBAN is never sent to any server, never stored, never logged. The page even works offline once loaded. Your banking details stay exactly where they should—on your device.

When to Check an IBAN

IBANs come up whenever money crosses borders:

• Sending wire transfers to suppliers, freelancers, or family abroad
• Receiving international payments and sharing your own IBAN
• Setting up SEPA payments for European transactions
• Verifying vendor details before paying an invoice
• Double-checking an IBAN you received via email or message

For international transfers, you'll typically need both an IBAN and a SWIFT code. The IBAN identifies the account; the SWIFT code identifies the bank.

How to Use It

1. Go to the tool — Open the IBAN Checker
2. Enter the IBAN — Type or paste the IBAN (spaces are fine, case doesn't matter)
3. Get results — See validation status and full breakdown instantly

That's it. No account needed, no uploads, unlimited checks.
