How to Read a Albania IBAN
Every IBAN starts the same way: the first two letters are the country code (AL) and the next two digits are the mod-97 check digits, computed over the entire number. What follows is Albania's domestic account format: 8n bank/branch, 16c account.
For an international transfer to Albania you will typically need this IBAN plus the bank's SWIFT/BIC code, which you can verify with our SWIFT Code Checker.
