How to Read a Portugal IBAN

Every IBAN starts the same way: the first two letters are the country code (PT) and the next two digits are the mod-97 check digits, computed over the entire number. What follows is Portugal's domestic account format: 4n bank, 4n branch, 11n account, 2n check.

For an international transfer to Portugal you will typically need this IBAN plus the bank's SWIFT/BIC code, which you can verify with our SWIFT Code Checker.
