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 verified Croatian IBAN, complete these steps before transferring.

  • 01
    Confirm the beneficiary's exact registered name. Verification of Payee checks now apply across the eurozone, including Croatia.
  • 02
    For SEPA payments, the IBAN is enough. For inbound non-SEPA transfers, pair it with the BIC.
  • 03
    Choose between SEPA Credit Transfer (settles same or next day) and SEPA Instant Credit Transfer, mandatory across Croatian PSPs from October 2025.
  • 04
    Confirm the account holds EUR. Croatia adopted the euro on 1 January 2023, so HRK is no longer the domestic currency.
  • 05
    For larger amounts, send a small test to flush out any name or routing mismatches before scaling.

IBAN Rules in Croatia

  • 01
    IBAN has been mandatory in Croatia for every domestic and cross-border transfer since the country's SEPA migration, reinforced by euro adoption on 1 January 2023.
  • 02
    The 21-character Croatian IBAN begins with HR, two check digits, a 7-digit bank code, and a 10-digit account number.
  • 03
    Legacy HRK account numbers were fully replaced at euro adoption. The Nacionalni racun (NRA) format that older Croatian banking still references is embedded inside the IBAN, not used standalone. Croatia is a full SEPA and eurozone member, so the same IBAN works for domestic Croatian payments and for SEPA transfers across all 36 SEPA countries.
