IBAN number - FAQs

What is an International Bank Account Number (IBAN)?

An international bank account number - more commonly abbreviated to IBAN - is typically used when sending payments overseas. The IBAN system helps guide international payments to the right account, by giving the banks processing transfers an indication of the country the account is held in, as well as the specific account number.

How does an IBAN work?

IBANs follow an internationally agreed system to show the country an account is held in, as well as the individual’s basic bank account number. You’ll find each IBAN has a 2 letter country code, followed by 2 check digits and the individual’s own basic bank account number.

IBAN numbers can be different lengths depending on the country they’re from. This is because different countries use basic bank account numbers of varying lengths.

IBAN vs. SWIFT Codes

SWIFT codes - which are also known as BIC codes - are also used in international payments. If you’re sending money overseas you’ll often be asked to provide both the SWIFT/BIC code and the IBAN for the recipient’s account. However, these 2 codes each have different purposes. The SWIFT code identifies the bank the payment is headed to, while the IBAN gives the details of the specific account the deposit needs to end up in.

Requirements for International Bank Account Numbers

You’ll find IBANs have different numbers of digits - but they all contain the same information. The first 2 characters show the country the payment is going to, followed by 2 check digits which are used to verify the IBAN before it’s used for a transfer. The digits that follow are the individual’s basic bank account number, which shows the account number and bank branch to help guide the payment.

Do you need an IBAN in Poland?

Yes, you’ll need an IBAN if you’re making an international money transfer to Poland.

A standard bank account number isn’t enough. If you're making or receiving a payment to a PKO BP account and you want your money to arrive quickly and safely in Poland, you’ll need to provide the bank with a few extra details. This generally includes an IBAN or SWIFT code.
