IBAN Structure Brazil

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

Brazil's IBAN has 29 characters in the format BRkk BBBB BBBB SSSS SCCC CCCC CCTN. After the country code BR and the check digits come an 8-digit bank code (Código do banco), a 5-digit branch code (Agência), the 10-digit account number (Conta) and one digit each for account type and account owner. Brazil is not a SEPA participant. The currency is the Brazilian real (BRL). Transfers from the euro area to Brazil run over classic SWIFT — a BIC is required, and FX margins and longer settlement times can apply. The Brazilian IBAN fully captures the classic Banco, Agência and Conta combination.
