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

Cyprus's IBAN has 28 characters in the format CYkk BBBS SSSS CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC. After the country code CY and the check digits come a 3-digit bank code, a 5-digit branch code and the 16-character account number. Cyprus has been in the euro area since 2008 and is fully SEPA-integrated. For payments from EU/EEA banks to Cyprus, required routing details depend on the bank, currency and route; check them in advance with your bank. Bank requirements may differ by territory and institution; check the exact details with the relevant bank.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check the length of an IBAN from Cyprus?
Remove spaces and count 28 characters. The first two characters are CY; the remaining positions follow CYkk BBBS SSSS CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC. A different length is formally invalid for this country format.
What do the check digits in a Cyprus 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.
