What it is and what it’s for
Unique to every account
The IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is a distinct code for every bank account and is recognised all over the world.
For reliable transfers
The IBAN makes transfers between bank accounts easier. It is used in domestic and international transfers to ensure that they are carried out properly.

How it is structured
With alphanumeric characters
The IBAN has a fixed number of characters for every country, up to 34 alphanumeric characters.
In Greece it has 27 alphanumeric characters from which:
- The first 2 are alphabetic characters that specify the country where the account is held (GR for Greece).
- The next 2 are the check digits that validate the entire IBAN.
- The final part is the Basic Bank Account Number or BBAN, which in most cases contains the number that identifies the bank (3 digits), the branch (4 digits) and the customer's account number (16 digits).
When the digits of the account number are less than 16, we complete it with zeros, placed at the beginning of the account.
Example:
Basic Bank Account Number (BBAN): 01401010101002101047414
IBAN: GR 16 014010101002101047414
