About this digital tool
The IBAN validator checks whether an international bank account number is correct using the MOD-97 algorithm and formats it into readable groups. Paste the IBAN and the tool checks the length, the country code and the check digits, and where possible identifies the bank and branch from the code. All checks happen in your browser.
Use it before any transfer, especially international ones, because a wrong digit can delay the payment or send it to the wrong place. An Albanian IBAN starts with AL and a Kosovo one with XK, each with a set length. The check verifies only the format and check digits, not that the account exists or belongs to the person; confirm the name with the recipient.
How to use
- Enter or paste the IBAN.
- The tool checks validity and identifies the bank.
- See whether the IBAN is correct and the bank details.
