IBAN basics

Using an IBAN from Germany

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 Germany starts with DE, followed by two check digits.

Confirm the length

The complete IBAN should contain exactly 22 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.
