Gibraltar's IBAN has 23 characters in the format GIkk BBBB CCCC CCCC CCCC CCC. After the country code GI and the check digits come a 4-letter bank code and the 15-character account number. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory and is not in the euro area. The currency is the Gibraltar pound (GIP), pegged 1:1 to the British pound. Because Gibraltar sits outside the euro area, transfers from the euro area usually need a BIC, and foreign-transfer fees and FX margins can apply. Check the exact conditions with your bank if in doubt.
