What are the characteristics of an IBAN & BIC number in Ireland?

IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is used by banks in European countries for international funds transfers. The IBAN is a unique code that identifies a beneficiary’s bank account. The Irish IBAN code consists of a country code followed by twenty alphanumeric characters.

In Ireland, IBAN codes start with the letters IE, followed by 2 control digits, 4 digit bank identifier, 6 digit routing number and 8 digit account number. Here is an example:  

IE29     AIBK     9311     5212     3456     78

Where:

• IE: Country Code
• 29: Control digits
• AIBK: Bank Identifier
• 931152: Routing Number
• 12345678: Account Number

A BIC is a unique identifier code for a particular bank. The BIC consists of either eight or eleven characters, including 4 letters identifying the bank, a 2 letter country code, 2 alphanumeric characters identifying location of the bank, and sometimes 3 alphanumeric characters identifying a specific branch of the bank. Here is an example:
