IBAN Structure Oman

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

Oman's IBAN has 23 characters in the format OMkk BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB BBB. After the country code OM and the check digits come a 3-digit bank code and the 16-character account number. Oman is not a SEPA participant. The currency is the Omani rial (OMR), pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate and one of the highest-valued currencies in the world. Transfers from the euro area to Oman run over classic SWIFT — a BIC is required, and FX margins and longer settlement times can apply.
