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. 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).

Frequently asked questions

How do I check the length of an IBAN from Mauritius?
Remove spaces and count 30 characters. The first two characters are MU; the remaining positions follow MUkk BBBB BBSS CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC CC. A different length is formally invalid for this country format.
What do the check digits in a Mauritius 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.
