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. For international payments, routing details, fees and timing depend on the banks, currency and route; check them in advance with your bank.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check the length of an IBAN from Oman?
Remove spaces and count 23 characters. The first two characters are OM; the remaining positions follow OMkk BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB BBB. A different length is formally invalid for this country format.
What do the check digits in a Oman 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.
