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). Transfers from the euro area to Honduras run over classic SWIFT — a BIC is required, and FX margins and longer settlement times can apply. 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.
