UPDATED:
At the moment the service IBAN calculator" on the official site National Bank Republic of Belarus is not available. Here is a link to all the main documents on the transition to IBAN and BIC.
To find out new number your account (IBAN), you need to contact your bank. If you have accounts opened in several banks, then the IBAN number corresponding to a particular account can be obtained from the bank where the account is opened. According to the international standard, only the account holder's bank has the exclusive right to issue an account number in the IBAN format.
The National Bank of the Republic of Belarus posted on its official website the service "IBAN Calculator" BelTA informs with reference to the information and public relations department of the National Bank.
The service allows you to determine the number of the current (settlement) bank account of the counterparty online ( legal entity, individual entrepreneur, a notary and an individual lawyer) in IBAN format.
To determine the number of the current (settlement) bank account in IBAN format, enter the 9-digit bank code in the service menu or select its name, select the account currency and indicate the old account number (13 characters). After entering the data, the corresponding account values in the IBAN and BIC format will be displayed in the dialog box.
The service also provides the opportunity batch processing.
According to the National Bank, the regulator's website also contains topical "questions and answers" for legal and individuals on translation bank accounts in IBAN and BIC format. The bank recommends that for all questions regarding the transition to IBAN and BIC, as well as the procedure for opening and using them in settlements, contact the servicing bank.
As reported, from July 4, 2017 Belarusian banks will only accept payment instructions containing new account numbers (IBANs) and new bank identification codes (BICs). At the same time, IBAN and BIC will be used both for settlements within the country and for international settlements.
The introduction of IBAN and BIC into the practice of non-cash settlements in Belarus and cross-border settlements will increase the reliability of transactions, speed up the processing of payments and reduce costs during their execution, eliminate the possibility of ambiguous identification of the settlement participant.
The decision on the transition of Belarusian banks to the use of IBAN and BIC for non-cash payments was made in 2015 as part of the implementation of the Action Plan for the implementation of the methodology of the ISO 20022 standard " Financial services. Universal Financial Industry Message Scheme" in payment system Republic of Belarus for 2014-2017.
This is the very first and most important verification step that we perform.
The check characters include two characters located at positions 3 and 4 in the IBAN.
Symbols are calculated based on the MOD97 algorithm and allow the first validation of the IBAN number.
This check is supported in all 116 countries.
If an error occurs at this stage, we do not perform further verification, because. IBAN is known to be incorrect.
IBAN support in the country
Our system automatically checks if the IBAN can be used in the country specified in the code.If an error occurs, the user will see a message stating that the IBAN is not used in the country.
This can only happen if you use software Low quality.
IBAN Length
Checking the length of the IBAN code is the third step in checking the code you entered.
Each of the 116 countries has its own IBAN code length.
Possible test results:
IBAN length is correct for UK
In the country ***COUNTRY*** IBAN includes **N** characters
If the International Bank Account Number is different, then it is considered invalid.
Account Number Checksum (BBAN)
Any IBAN code includes an internal BBAN account number (Main Bank Account Number).
In some countries, additional characters are used to verify the correctness of the BBAN.
Each country uses its own algorithm, and it may differ even for different bank branches.
- United Kingdom (UK) uses 3 different algorithms: MOD10 , MOD11 and DBLAL with 39 metrics. So we have over 100 variations
- Holland (NL) uses the MOD11 algorithm with different parameters to check the account number. France (FR) uses MOD97 with various options
- Germany (DE) uses a complex structure based on 143 algorithms and parameters: MOD10, MOD11, MOD7, etc.
- Italy (IT) uses a modified MOD10 algorithm to validate internal bank accounts
- Sweden (SE) uses 5 different algorithms: MOD11 and MOD10 with different parameters
Correct account number checksum- You can use the number as correct.
Incorrect account number checksum- You can't use the number. Most likely it contains an error.
Account number does not support verification- Many countries and banks do not support account number verification. In this case, you should use check characters to evaluate the IBAN.
Currently, 48 countries support checking BBAN and internal account number using verification characters.
IBAN format and structure
In the second step, we check the International Bank Account Number structure.
We know all the rules and requirements in each of the countries that govern the use of IBAN.
This check can be useful if your selected country does not use check characters.
This check can have the following results:
Correct IBAN format and structure!
Wrong IBAN format and structure!
Formatting
Our algorithm allows you to determine the IBAN formats in all 116 countries.
When checking the number format, we take into account:
- Bank code position- allows you to determine the correct location of the bank identifier
- Branch code position- Branch code is not used in all countries. We check for 58 countries
- Check character position- Not available in all countries. We check for 58 countries
The structure check includes checking the location of special characters in different parts of the IBAN.
Structure validation is carried out for 116 countries.
During structure validation, we determine:
- Bank code contains only letters, only numbers, letters and numbers
- Branch code contains only letters, only numbers, letters and numbers
- Internal account number contains only letters, only numbers, letters and numbers

IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is the bank account number in accordance with the international standard ISO 13616:2007. It is also called the IBAN code (IBAN code).
The IBAN code officially appeared in 2007. Its appearance was originally intended to standardize settlements between banks in the European Union (EC).
The IBAN code is used not only in the EU, but also in other countries of the world. Using bank account coding recommendations speeds up and reduces the cost of interbank payments.
From July 4, 2017, through the efforts of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus, Belarus joins the international numbering of accounts and abandons its old one.
Each country independently determines the length of the IBAN code. The maximum possible length is 34 characters. In Belarus, the National Bank has established IBAN accounts with a length of 28 characters.
The IBAN structure looks like this:
- the first two letters indicate the state where the account is located. For Belarus it is BY;
- the next two digits are the IBAN check number for checking the correctness of the account;
- the remaining characters encoded the sign of the bank and the number of the bank account.
For example, until July 4, 2017, the Inspectorate for the Tax Ministry for the Zavodskoy district of Minsk had an account number 3602911010004 in Belarusbank. Bank code: 153001795.
After the transition to the new numbering, the account will look like this.
