IBAN Structure Israel

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

Israel's IBAN has 23 characters in the format ILkk BBBS SSCC CCCC CCCC CCC. After the country code IL and two check digits come a 3-digit bank code, a 3-digit branch code and the 13-digit account number. Israel is not a SEPA participant. The currency is the new Israeli shekel (ILS), not the euro. For international payments, routing details, fees and timing depend on the banks, currency and route; check them in advance with your bank. Israel has firmly established the IBAN in domestic payments; every Israeli bank issues its customers an IBAN.

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 Israel?
Remove spaces and count 23 characters. The first two characters are IL; the remaining positions follow ILkk BBBS SSCC CCCC CCCC CCC. A different length is formally invalid for this country format.
What do the check digits in a Israel 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.
