IBAN Structure Yemen

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

Yemen's IBAN has 30 characters in the format YEkk BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB BBBB BB. After the country code YE and the check digits come a 4-letter bank code, a 4-digit branch code and the 18-character account number. Yemen is not a SEPA participant. The currency is the Yemeni rial (YER). Transfers from the euro area to Yemen run over classic SWIFT; a BIC is required, and FX margins and longer settlement times can apply. Payments to Yemen are subject to heightened compliance checks at banks — expect additional queries and longer processing times.
