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-character alphanumeric bank code (Código do banco), a 5-digit branch code (Agência), the 10-digit account number (Conta) and one alphanumeric character each for account type and account owner. Brazil is not a SEPA participant. The currency is the Brazilian real (BRL). For international payments, routing details, fees and timing depend on the banks, currency and route; check them in advance with your bank. The Brazilian IBAN fully captures the classic Banco, Agência and Conta combination.

Structural fields are based on the official SWIFT IBAN Registry. The editorial method and validation boundary are documented on our German editorial page (German).

Frequently asked questions

How do I check the length of an IBAN from Brazil?
Remove spaces and count 29 characters. The first two characters are BR; the remaining positions follow BRkk BBBB BBBB SSSS SCCC CCCC CCTN. A different length is formally invalid for this country format.
What do the check digits in a Brazil IBAN mean?
The two check digits are calculated from the complete IBAN using ISO 7064 MOD-97. They help detect format and transcription errors. A passing checksum does not confirm that an account exists or identify its account holder.
What should I do when an IBAN is formally invalid?
Check the country code, character count, letters and digits, and the check digits. Compare the entry with your bank records or ask the bank for the correct IBAN. This checker validates structure and checksum; it does not verify account ownership or payment approval.
