IBAN Structure Liechtenstein
Last reviewed: · Source: ISO 13616 / SWIFT IBAN Registry
Liechtenstein's IBAN has 21 characters in the format LIkk BBBB BCCC CCCC CCCC C — structurally identical to the Swiss IBAN (same layout, different country prefix). After LI and two check digits come a 5-digit bank clearing code and the 12-character account identifier. Liechtenstein is part of SEPA through the EEA but, like Switzerland, uses the Swiss franc (CHF). As a small but active banking centre, it hosts many private banks and asset managers. For payments to Liechtenstein, the available route and required details depend on the banks, currency and payment conditions; check them in advance with your bank. For international payments, routing details, fees and timing depend on the banks, currency and route; check them in advance with your bank.
Structural fields are based on the official SWIFT IBAN Registry. The editorial method and validation boundary are documented on our German editorial page (German).
