IBAN Structure Greenland

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

Greenland's IBAN has 18 characters in the format GLkk BBBB CCCC CCCC CC — structurally identical to the Danish IBAN. After the country code GL and the check digits come a 4-digit Reg.nr. bank code, the 9-digit account number and a single national check digit. Greenland is an autonomous part of the Kingdom of Denmark with its own IBAN prefix. The currency is the Danish krone (DKK). For this payment, required routing details depend on the banks and route; check them in advance with your bank. Check the exact conditions with your bank if in doubt.

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 Greenland?
Remove spaces and count 18 characters. The first two characters are GL; the remaining positions follow GLkk BBBB CCCC CCCC CC. A different length is formally invalid for this country format.
What do the check digits in a Greenland 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.
