Questions
How many characters is an IBAN in Greece?
An IBAN from Greece always has 27 characters: the country code GR, 2 check digits and a 23-character national account number (BBAN).
How do I know a Greece IBAN is correct?
Check the length (27), that it starts with GR, and the mod-97 check digits. Our free IBAN checker does all three in one step and shows the bank when it is known.
Is Greece in SEPA?

Does a valid IBAN mean the account exists?
No. The check proves the number is well formed and the check digits match. Only the bank can confirm that the account is open and whose it is.
