IBAN Structure Seychelles

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

Seychelles' IBAN has 31 characters in the format SCkk BBBB BBSS CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC CCC. After the country code SC and the check digits come a 6-character bank code, a 2-digit branch code, the 16-digit account number and a 3-letter currency code. Seychelles is not a SEPA participant. The currency is the Seychellois rupee (SCR). As with Mauritius, the IBAN ends with a three-letter currency code stating the account currency — often USD or EUR. Transfers from the euro area to Seychelles run over classic SWIFT — a BIC is required, and FX margins and longer settlement times can apply.
