IBAN Structure Estonia

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

Estonia's IBAN has 20 characters in the format EEkk BBCC CCCC CCCC CCCK. After the country code EE and the check digits come a 2-digit bank code, a 2-digit branch code, the 11-digit account number and a single national check digit. Estonia has been in the euro area since 2011 and is fully SEPA-integrated. A transfer from the euro area to Estonia needs only the IBAN — no BIC — at the ordinary SEPA rate, just like a domestic payment. Thanks to instant transfers, funds often arrive within seconds.
