Important
This tool is for information only and produces approximate results based on generally accepted calculation logic. It does not replace professional assessment of a specific case; the final calculation should be made by an authorised professional.
What Is an IBAN Lookup?
IBAN lookup lets you check whether an IBAN has a valid format and find out which bank it belongs to.
With the IBAN lookup tool, the country code, check digits, bank code and account number fields within the IBAN are broken down automatically. This lets you quickly check IBAN details before making a money transfer.
How to Find Out Which Bank an IBAN Belongs To
Which bank an IBAN belongs to can be told from the five-digit bank code within the IBAN number. Each bank has its own unique bank code.
When you type your IBAN into the lookup field, the tool detects the bank code automatically and shows the name of the bank. In Turkish IBANs, the bank code is the five-character section that comes after the country and check digits.
How Do You Validate an IBAN?
IBAN validation checks whether the number entered matches the country's IBAN format and the international check algorithm.
During IBAN validation:
The country code is checked.
The IBAN length is checked.
The bank code is identified.
The check digits are verified.
The account number field is extracted.
A valid-looking format does not guarantee that the IBAN belongs to an active bank account or a particular person. The tool only validates the IBAN structure and check digits.
How Many Characters Is a Turkish IBAN?
IBANs used in Türkiye consist of 26 characters in total. The first two characters are the letters “TR”, Türkiye’s country code. The following sections contain the check digits, bank code, reserved field and account number.
The structure of a Turkish IBAN is:
TR + Check Code + Bank Code + Reserved Field + Account Number
Country code: 2 characters
Check code: 2 digits
Bank code: 5 digits
Reserved field: 1 digit
Account number: 16 digits
Even if an IBAN is written with spaces, the spaces are not counted.
Can You Find the Account Number from an IBAN?
The last 16 characters of a Turkish IBAN make up the basic bank account number field. An IBAN decoder can separate out this part and show the account number field.
However, how this field is divided into branch code, customer number and sub-account number can vary from bank to bank. So exact branch details cannot be derived for every bank from the IBAN alone.
What is the difference between IBAN lookup and IBAN calculation?
IBAN lookup and IBAN calculation are not the same thing.
IBAN lookup checks whether an IBAN you have is valid and which bank it belongs to.
IBAN calculation, on the other hand, generates an IBAN number from bank account details such as the branch code and account number.
The tool on this page is an IBAN lookup, decoding and validation tool; it does not generate a new IBAN number.
Is IBAN Lookup Safe?
The number you enter for an IBAN lookup is checked only in your browser, and no money transfer is made.
An IBAN on its own does not allow anyone to withdraw money from your account. Even so, you should share your personal and financial details only on websites you trust.
