After the country code TN and the check digits come a 2-digit bank code, a 3-digit branch code, the 13-digit account number and two national check digits. Tunisia is not a SEPA participant. The currency is the Tunisian dinar (TND). Transfers from the euro area to Tunisia run over classic SWIFT — a BIC is required, and FX margins and longer settlement times can apply.
