IBAN Structure Moldova

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

Moldova's IBAN has 24 characters in the format MDkk BBCC CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC. After the country code MD and the check digits come a 2-character bank code and the 18-character account number. Moldova is not an EU member but has taken part in SEPA since 2025. The currency is the Moldovan leu (MDL), not the euro. Euro transfers from the euro area to Moldova therefore ride SEPA at the SEPA rate; leu transfers run over SWIFT, where FX margins and fees can apply.
