IBAN Structure Palestine

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

Palestine's IBAN has 29 characters in the format PSkk BBBB CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCCC. After the country code PS and the check digits come a 4-letter bank code and the 21-character account number. The Palestinian territories are not a SEPA participant. Several currencies are common in payments, among them the Israeli shekel and the Jordanian dinar. For international payments, routing details, fees and timing depend on the banks, currency and route; check them in advance with your bank. Clarify the exact account currency with the recipient in advance if in doubt.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check the length of an IBAN from Palestine?
Remove spaces and count 29 characters. The first two characters are PS; the remaining positions follow PSkk BBBB CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCCC. A different length is formally invalid for this country format.
What do the check digits in a Palestine 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.
