Further to the Central Bank of Egypt’s directions, the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) will be mandatory for completing transfers. IBAN is currently implemented in 96 countries around the world and is characterized by its accuracy, security and efficiency when completing international and domestic transfers leaving minimal room for delays, error and additional costs. To know your IBAN, please enter your 13 digit bank account number in the required field and your IBAN will appear in the form of 29 digits unique to each bank account. This number will be necessary for processing your international and domestic digital transfers from now onwards.
Disclaimer:
Please input a correct and valid Emirates NBD Egypt account number which consists of 13 digits, as well as registered mobile number related to the account, otherwise the tool will generate a wrong IBAN number. Emirates NBD Egypt will not be held liable for damage or loss of any nature resulting directly or indirectly from entering the wrong or invalid account number.
International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is a standard account number used to facilitate automatic processing of money transfers. You will need to use an IBAN for the completion of domestic and international transfers to and from your account. It's a standardized way of identifying a bank account, which reduces errors and delays in sending international payments.
IBAN is combination of 29 numbers and letters unique for each account and country. Therefore, every account has an IBAN and every IBAN designates one account. The first four digits of IBAN includes two digits for the country code and two check digits to verify the validation of the IBAN. The remaining part of the IBAN includes the national account number named as Basic Bank Account Number (BBAN).
As declared by the Central Bank of Egypt, IBAN will be implemented on the 30th of June 2020 across Egypt.
No, it does not replace the account number. It is simply an additional standardized international identifier for your account.
