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

Lebanon's IBAN has 28 characters in the format LBkk BBBB CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC. After the country code LB and the check digits come a 4-digit bank code and the 20-character account number. Lebanon is not a SEPA participant. The currency is the Lebanese pound (LBP). Transfers from the euro area to Lebanon run over classic SWIFT — a BIC is required, and FX margins and longer settlement times can apply. For payments to Lebanon, banks review the exact conditions and processing times case by case; clarify them in advance with your bank if in doubt.
