How to Read a Iceland IBAN
Every IBAN starts the same way: the first two letters are the country code (IS) and the next two digits are the mod-97 check digits, computed over the entire number. What follows is Iceland's domestic account format: 4n bank, 2n branch, 6n account, 10n kennitala.
For an international transfer to Iceland you will typically need this IBAN plus the bank's SWIFT/BIC code, which you can verify with our SWIFT Code Checker.
