[edit] External links
The link Regulation regarding the usage of the IBAN codes in Romania explains in detail the IBAN codes in Romania: format, usage etc. It should really be added as it contains useful information in sync with the content of the article.
[edit] countries, where IBAN is applied?
On the official page there are some lists. Also there is a sub-list of IBAN applicants that also apply some TR201 regulations and SWIFT methods...
But I have a brochure from our central bank about the imminent adoption of IBAN here at home. In the brochure IBAN is described as "Until Jan2006 IBAN is applied in 42 states, including all members of the EU". The lists on the official page seem shorter (if we count all entries - states and overseas territories - there are more than 42. If we count states only - there are less than 42). 199.64.72.25 (talk • contribs • email)
According to the dropdown lists at http://www.ecbs.org/iban/iban.htm IBAN seems to be used in all of the EU including all dependent territories, plus the following countries and dependent territories of EU countries (including dependent territories that aren't part of the EU):
Andorra Bosnia and Herzegovina Croatia Iceland Liechtenstein Macedonia, Former Yugoslav Republic of Monaco (identical to the French format except for the country code 'MC') Norway Romania San Marino (identical to the Italian format except for the country code 'SM') Serbia and Montenegro Switzerland Tunisia Turkey United Kingdom
Not all of the above countries are mentioned on the IBAN page.

[edit] Swedish IBANs
It says:
* Swedish IBAN format: SEkk BBBB CCCC CCCC CCCC CCCC
The Bs represent the bank code and the Cs the account number.
This needs some explanation. What is the bank code? At first I thought it was the sort code ("clearingnummer"), but then I realised that the BBBB part in my IBAN is 3000, while my sort code is 3300. Secondly, many of FöreningsSparbanken's sort codes are 5-digit codes instead of 4-digit as used by most other banks, and postal giro accounts, while they have IBANs, don't have sort codes at all.

[edit] Please verify.....
The first paragraph on the front page:
"....and was later adopted as ISO 13616:1997 and now as ISO 13616:2003"
The info provided by this sentence doesn't seem to be correct according to the webpage at
To my knowledge, if a standard is published and later revised, the history of the versions will be listed. See this page for more information

Why is Morocco listed in the IBAN examples ? Any source for this information ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 196.12.206.91 (talk) 14:41, August 20, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] ISO 7064 mod 97-10
What is "ISO 7064 mod 97-10"? I am reading the document þhttp://www.ecbs.org/Download/EBS204_V3.2.pdf EBS204_V3.2] and after saying that ISO 7064 mod 97-10 should be applied, it is said that should be 1 the remainder of the division of the number by 97. So this is just that the whole number should be congruent to 1 mod 97. There no need to invoke an ISO standard (and what id ISO 7064) and why there is a 10 after the 97? In the standard and here is written a sentence that is much more complicated than what is required. -- AnyFile (talk) 20:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
