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

Russia's IBAN has 33 characters in the format RUkk BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB B — at 33 characters it is the longest IBAN in the world. After the country code RU and the check digits come a 9-digit bank code, a 5-digit branch code and the 15-character account number. The currency is the Russian ruble (RUB). Since 2022 many Russian banks have been excluded from the SWIFT network under EU sanctions, so transfers from the euro area are largely impossible or heavily restricted. The IBAN format remains documented here for reference. Russia is not a SEPA participant.
