Swiss IBAN checker

Check a Swiss IBAN in seconds: the length, the check digits and the bank code. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

The example above is the standard sample IBAN for Switzerland, not a real account.

What the check tells you

A valid result means the IBAN is well formed: right country code, right length for Switzerland, and check digits that match. It cannot confirm the account exists or who owns it; banks in the euro area check the payee name when you pay.

Paying a Swiss IBAN

Switzerland is in the SEPA area, but its accounts are mostly held in Swiss franc (CHF), not euro. SEPA transfers are euro payments, so check with your bank how a euro payment to a Swiss account is converted.

Checking an IBAN from another country? Use the IBAN checker for every European country.
