IBAN Structure Jordan

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

Jordan's IBAN has 30 characters in the format JOkk BBBB SSSS CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC CC. After the country code JO and the check digits come a 4-letter bank code, a 4-digit branch code and the 18-character account number. Jordan is not a SEPA participant. The currency is the Jordanian dinar (JOD), pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate. Transfers from the euro area to Jordan run over classic SWIFT — a BIC is required, and FX margins and longer settlement times can apply. The Jordanian central bank has made the IBAN mandatory in domestic payments.
