What is an IBAN number? The International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is the international standard for identifying international bank accounts across national borders.
The IBAN is comprised of a maximum of 27 alphanumeric characters within Europe and a maximum of 34 outside of Europe (German IBAN: 22 characters). At present, the United States does not participate in IBAN. Therefore, Bank of America does not have an IBAN number. When sending wire transfers to countries that have IBAN numbers, we recommend including those numbers in your wire transfer documentation. According to the European Directive, only the account-keeping bank may calculate the IBAN / check digits. To obtain the IBAN numbers of another bank, please visit that banks website or contact them directly to obtain that information. http://www.bankofamerica.com/deposits/checksave/index.cfm?template=lc_faq_wire On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 1:25 PM, Maureen <[email protected]> wrote: > > Call your bank and ask them about the Iban number.
