IBAN Structure Lithuania

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

Lithuania's IBAN has 20 characters in the format LTkk BBBB BCCC CCCC CCCC. After the country code LT and the check digits come a 5-digit bank code and the 11-digit account number. Lithuania has been in the euro area since 2015 and is fully SEPA-integrated. Vilnius has become a major EU fintech hub in recent years, so many European payment providers issue Lithuanian IBANs. Transfers to Lithuania need only the IBAN, no BIC, at the ordinary SEPA rate — the same conditions as a domestic payment.
