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). For international payments, routing details, fees and timing depend on the banks, currency and route; check them in advance with your bank. The Egyptian central bank introduced the IBAN for domestic payments; every Egyptian bank issues its customers an IBAN.

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 Egypt?
Remove spaces and count 29 characters. The first two characters are EG; the remaining positions follow EGkk BBBB SSSS CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC C. A different length is formally invalid for this country format.
What do the check digits in a Egypt 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.
