What’s a CLABE number in Mexico?
CLABE (Clave Bancaria Estandarizada) is an 18-digit standard for bank account numbers in Mexico. It’s been required to send and receive inter-bank fund transfers since June 1, 2004, when it replaced the old 11-digit format. It can be found on any bank statement or online bank service.
The 18 CLABE digits are divided into:
- Bank code: 3 digits
- Branch Office Code: 3 digits
- Account Number: 11 digits
- Control Digit: 1 digit
