The International
Bank Account Number (IBAN) is the international
standard for identifying international bank
accounts across national borders.
The IBAN is
comprised of a maximum of 27 alphanumeric
characters within Europe and a maximum of 34
outside of Europe (German IBAN: 22 characters).
At present, the United States does not
participate in IBAN. Therefore, Bank of America
does not have an IBAN number.
When sending wire
transfers to countries that have IBAN numbers,
we recommend including those numbers in your
wire transfer documentation. According to the
European Directive, only the account-keeping
bank may calculate the IBAN / check digits. To
obtain the IBAN numbers of another bank, please
visit that banks website or contact them
directly to obtain that information. |
