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). Because Greenland lies 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.
