IBAN by country

Slovakia IBAN

24 characters: the country code, two check digits, then the BBAN cut as below.

Anatomy of the official example

SK3112000000198742637541

  • Country code
  • Check digits
  • Bank code
  • Branch code
  • Account number

The example comes from the ISO 13616 registry; it belongs to nobody. Positions count from the first character of the IBAN.

The bank code of this official example is not allocated in Národná banka Slovenska, prevodník of identification codes for the domestic payment system: the API says so as it is, which is the expected behaviour on a demonstration IBAN.

SWIFT notation: n = digits, a = upper-case letters, c = alphanumeric characters; the exclamation mark fixes the exact length.
