About Belgium IBANs

A Belgium IBAN starts with the country code BE, followed by 2 check digits and the national account number (BBAN), for a total of 16 characters. ValidateFin verifies the mod-97 checksum (ISO 13616), the length and the format - entirely in your browser, no data sent to any server.

  • The Belgian BBAN is only 12 digits: a 3-digit bank code, a 7-digit account number and 2 national check digits — one of the shortest IBANs in the SEPA zone.
  • The last 2 digits are a national check computed as the rest of the BBAN modulo 97 (or 97 if the remainder is 0), on top of the IBAN's own check digits.
  • Belgium is a founding SEPA and eurozone country, so a BE IBAN is accepted for all euro SEPA payments.
