What are the characteristics of an IBAN & BIC number in Slovakia?
IBAN stands for International Bank Account Number and is used by banks in European countries for international funds transfers. The IBAN is a unique code that identifies a beneficiary’s bank account.
In Slovakia, IBAN codes start with SK, followed by 2 check digits, a 4-digit bank code, and a 16-digit account number. Here’s an example:
SK 31 1200 0000 1987 4263 7541
SK: Country code
31: Check digits
1200: Bank code
0000198742637541: 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’s an example:
KBSPSKBX
KBSP: Bank identifier
SK: Country code
BX: Bank location
