IBAN Structure Belarus

Last reviewed: · Source: ISO 13616 / SWIFT IBAN Registry

Belarus's IBAN has 28 characters in the format BYkk BBBB AAAA CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC. After the country code BY and the check digits come a 4-character bank code, a 4-digit balance-account code and the 16-character account number. The currency is the Belarusian ruble (BYN). Since 2022 many Belarusian banks have been excluded from the SWIFT network under EU sanctions, so transfers from the euro area are largely impossible or heavily restricted. The IBAN format remains documented here for reference. Belarus is not a SEPA participant.
