IBAN Structure Honduras

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

Honduras's IBAN has 28 characters in the format HNkk BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB. After the country code HN and the check digits come a 4-letter bank code and the 20-digit account number. Honduras is not a SEPA participant. The currency is the lempira (HNL). For international payments, routing details, fees and timing depend on the banks, currency and route; check them in advance with your bank. The 4-letter bank code corresponds to a short code of the account-holding Honduran bank. Honduras is among the Central American countries that have introduced the IBAN in domestic payments.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check the length of an IBAN from Honduras?
Remove spaces and count 28 characters. The first two characters are HN; the remaining positions follow HNkk BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB. A different length is formally invalid for this country format.
What do the check digits in a Honduras 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.
