IBAN Structure Guatemala

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

Guatemala's IBAN has 28 characters in the format GTkk BBBB TTTT CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC. After the country code GT and the check digits come a 4-character bank code and the 20-character account number. Guatemala is not a SEPA participant. The currency is the quetzal (GTQ). For international payments, routing details, fees and timing depend on the banks, currency and route; check them in advance with your bank. Guatemala is one of the few Central American countries to have introduced the IBAN in domestic payments.

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 Guatemala?
Remove spaces and count 28 characters. The first two characters are GT; the remaining positions follow GTkk BBBB TTTT CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC. A different length is formally invalid for this country format.
What do the check digits in a Guatemala 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.
