A Iceland IBAN starts with the country code IS, followed by 2 check digits and the national account number (BBAN), for a total of 26 characters. ValidateFin verifies the mod-97 checksum (ISO 13616), the length and the format - entirely in your browser, no data sent to any server.
- •Uniquely, an Icelandic IBAN embeds the account holder's 10-digit kennitala (national ID number) at the end of the BBAN.
- •The BBAN also carries a 2-digit account-type (höfuðbók) code between the branch and the account number.
- •Iceland is not in the EU but is part of the SEPA zone, so a IS IBAN is accepted for euro SEPA payments; domestic accounts are in Icelandic króna (ISK).
