IBAN

IBAN, which stands for International Bank Account Number, is a numeric system that banks use to make money transfers abroad. This helps ensure that the money transfers will arrive to the right account, no matter where they're sent to.

An IBAN is important when you're sending and receiving money internationally because it prevents the funds from ending up in the wrong account by assigning a code for each individual account.

Is IBAN the same as SWIFT?

No, they are not the same. The difference between IBAN and SWIFT is their use. While an IBAN is used to identify a bank account anywhere in the world, a SWIFT code is used to identify a bank inside their global network. However, they are similar in that their goal is to facilitate money transfers internationally.
