IBAN Structure Egypt

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

Egypt's IBAN has 29 characters in the format EGkk BBBB SSSS CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC C. After the country code EG and the check digits come a 4-digit bank code, a 4-digit branch code and the 17-digit account number. Egypt is not a SEPA participant. The currency is the Egyptian pound (EGP). Transfers from the euro area to Egypt run over classic SWIFT — a BIC is required, and FX margins and longer settlement times can apply. The Egyptian central bank introduced the IBAN for domestic payments; every Egyptian bank issues its customers an IBAN.
