IBAN Structure Lebanon

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). For international payments, routing details, fees and timing depend on the banks, currency and route; check them in advance with your bank. 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.

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 Lebanon?
Remove spaces and count 28 characters. The first two characters are LB; the remaining positions follow LBkk BBBB CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC. A different length is formally invalid for this country format.
What do the check digits in a Lebanon 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.
