IBAN Structure Slovakia

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

Slovakia's IBAN has 24 characters in the format SKkk BBBB SSSS SSCC CCCC CCCC. After the country code SK and the check digits come a 4-digit bank code, a 6-digit account prefix (Predčíslie) and the 10-digit account number. Slovakia has been in the euro area since 2009 and is fully SEPA-integrated. The historic account prefix dates back to the former Czechoslovak banking system and is still part of the account number today. Transfers to Slovakia need only the IBAN, no BIC, at the ordinary SEPA rate — the same conditions as a domestic payment.
