IBAN Structure Romania

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

Romania's IBAN has 24 characters in the format ROkk BBBB CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC. After RO and two check digits come a 4-letter SWIFT bank code (e.g. BTRL for Banca Transilvania, BRDE for BRD, RNCB for BCR) and the 16-character account number. Romania has participated in SEPA since 2008, but is not yet in the euro area — the leu (RON) remains the currency. For payments to Romania, the available route and required details depend on the banks, currency and payment conditions; check them in advance with your bank. For payments from EU/EEA banks to Romania, required routing details depend on the bank, 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 Romania?
Remove spaces and count 24 characters. The first two characters are RO; the remaining positions follow ROkk BBBB CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC. A different length is formally invalid for this country format.
What do the check digits in a Romania 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.
