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. Transfers from the euro area to Israel therefore run over classic SWIFT — a BIC is required, and FX margins and longer settlement times can apply. Israel has firmly established the IBAN in domestic payments; every Israeli bank issues its customers an IBAN.
