IBAN basics

Using an IBAN from Switzerland

The country format helps identify whether an IBAN has the expected structure. It does not confirm that the account exists or can receive a transfer.

Check the country code

An IBAN from Switzerland starts with CH, followed by two check digits.

Confirm the length

The complete IBAN should contain exactly 21 characters after spaces are removed.

Validate before payment

Use the format as a first check, and always confirm the account details with the recipient before sending funds.
