About This Item
TS ISO 13616-1 defines the structure of the International Bank Account Number (IBAN), a financial-services identifier used to support the international processing of account data. This part sets out the elements that make up an IBAN and how they are organised, helping account information move more consistently between systems, organisations and exchange media.
How the IBAN format works
In general technical terms, an IBAN is a textual representation of account information built from standardised components such as a country code, check digits and national account identifiers. That structure supports automated handling by making account data easier to enter, compare and validate. Its purpose is not network message routing; rather, it provides a uniform way to express account details so they can be processed reliably in cross-border and other interchange contexts.
What this part covers and excludes
- It specifies the elements of the IBAN and the way they are structured.
- It does not specify internal procedures, file organisation techniques, storage media or implementation languages.
- It is applicable to textual data that may be conveyed through a system or network, and it can also be used in other interchange media such as paper documents when appropriate.
