IBAN Structure Ukraine

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

Ukraine's IBAN has 29 characters in the format UAkk BBBB BBCC CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCCC. After the country code UA and the check digits come a 6-digit bank code (MFO) and the 19-character account number. Ukraine is not a SEPA participant. The currency is the hryvnia (UAH), not the euro. For international payments, routing details, fees and timing depend on the banks, currency and route; check them in advance with your bank. The 6-digit bank code matches the MFO, the traditional identifier of the account-holding Ukrainian 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 Ukraine?
Remove spaces and count 29 characters. The first two characters are UA; the remaining positions follow UAkk BBBB BBCC CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCCC. A different length is formally invalid for this country format.
What do the check digits in a Ukraine 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.
