💡 Simple guide · no technical skills needed

When do I need this?

Before you send money, check that the IBAN (bank account number) has no typo and see which bank it belongs to.

How to do it

  1. Copy the IBAN from the invoice or message and paste it (spaces are fine).
  2. Press Check.
  3. Green = the number is correct; for German accounts you also see the bank name.

Good to know

  • A valid IBAN does not prove who owns the account. If someone sends you “new bank details”, call them to confirm.

Questions

What does the check prove?

That the IBAN is written correctly: right length for the country and correct check digits. It catches almost every typo. It does not prove that the account exists or who owns it.

Which bank is it?

For German IBANs we read the bank code (BLZ) and look it up in the Deutsche Bundesbank list, with the BIC. For Bulgarian IBANs the bank code is the start of the BIC. For other countries we show the bank code.

Do I need a BIC for SEPA transfers?

No. Inside the SEPA area the IBAN is enough. The BIC can help for transfers outside SEPA.

Is my data stored?

No. The IBAN is checked and forgotten.
