IBAN Structure Mauritius

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

Mauritius's IBAN has 30 characters in the format MUkk BBBB BBSS CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC CC. After the country code MU and the check digits come a 6-character bank code, a 2-digit branch code, the 12-digit account number, three reserved digits and a 3-letter currency code. Mauritius is not a SEPA participant. The currency is the Mauritian rupee (MUR). One peculiarity: the IBAN ends with a three-letter currency code that states the account currency. Transfers from the euro area to Mauritius run over classic SWIFT — a BIC is required, and FX margins and longer settlement times can apply.
