ISO 13616

IBAN stands for International Bank Account Number. The IBAN facilitates the automation of cross-border payment transaction processing. Each country has its particular national IBAN format. The ISO 13616 standard specifies the structure of an ISO-compliant national IBAN format. A copy of the ISO 13616 standard can be obtained through http://www.iso.org/... ISO has designated SWIFT to act as the registration authority for national IBAN formats. Only a national standards body or a national competent authority can request a national IBAN format registration for its country... The IBAN Registration Procedures document describes the roles and responsibilities of the different stakeholders intervening in the registration, publication and maintenance of the IBAN formats.
