IBAN checker (UAE and international): frequently asked questions
How long is a UAE IBAN?
23 characters: AE, 2 check digits, a 3-digit bank code and a 16-digit account number.
Does a valid IBAN mean the account exists?
No. It means the number is correctly formed. Only the bank can confirm the account and its owner.
How is the checksum calculated?
The first four characters are moved to the end, letters are converted to numbers, and the result must leave a remainder of 1 when divided by 97.
Where do I find my IBAN?
In your banking app, on bank statements, or on a letter from your bank.
Is it safe to enter my IBAN here?
The check runs entirely in your browser and nothing is stored or sent.
Which countries are supported?
All IBAN countries for the checksum; exact lengths are checked for the UAE, GCC and many others.
Why do I need an IBAN for salary transfers?
UAE banks and the WPS system use the IBAN to route payments correctly.
What should I do if it is invalid?
Check for typos, especially swapped digits, and ask the account holder to confirm.
Are these calculations based on UAE rules?
Where a UAE rule applies (VAT, labour law, mortgage limits) the tool follows it and names the source. Rules change, so confirm important figures with the relevant authority.
Is the iban checker (uae and international) free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up and no usage limits for normal use.
