What is the difference between an account number and an IBAN?

Asked by Banky team 2 months ago
Banky team Reviewed editorial answer

The account number is an internal identifier, and the IBAN is a standard account format for transfers.

Key points

  • Use the IBAN when the transfer route requires it.

  • Do not manually deduce the account number from the IBAN.
