Steps to validate an IBAN

There are two different validations that can be performed to ensure an UK IBAN is correct.

  • 01
    First validation is done using the IBAN's Check Digits using the MOD97 algorithm.
  • 02
    Second layer of validation can be carried out on the domestic sort code and account number combination
  • 03
    Match the sort code against our Bank and Branch code directory to check if it exists

Found the correct IBAN, What to do next

With a valid Austrian IBAN in hand, follow these steps before initiating the transfer.

  • 01
    Verify the beneficiary's exact registered name, since Austrian banks now apply Verification of Payee (VoP) checks on cross-border SEPA payments under EU Regulation 2024/886.
  • 02
    For SEPA-area transfers, no SWIFT/BIC is needed. For non-SEPA inbound funds, pair the IBAN with the bank's BIC.
  • 03
    Choose between standard SEPA Credit Transfer and SEPA Instant Credit Transfer. Instant settles in under 10 seconds, 24/7.
  • 04
    Confirm the account holds EUR if you are sending in another currency, otherwise pay conversion costs at the receiving bank.
  • 05
    For large invoices, send a low-value verification transfer first.

IBAN Rules in Austria

  • 01
    IBAN has been mandatory for every domestic and SEPA payment in Austria since the SEPA migration deadline of 1 February 2014.
  • 02
    The 20-character Austrian IBAN starts with AT, two check digits, a 5-digit Bankleitzahl (BLZ) bank code, and an 11-digit account number. The legacy BLZ plus account number is now embedded inside the IBAN, so customers no longer use it standalone.
  • 03
    Austria is a founding eurozone and SEPA member, which means the same IBAN works seamlessly for domestic payments, payments across all 36 SEPA countries, and SEPA Instant Credit Transfers. There is no parallel local account system in active use.
