What is an IBAN number? Where can I find it?

Your IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is simply your unique bank account number used across Europe.
It makes sure that payments — like your withdrawals — go safely and correctly to your account.

What does an IBAN look like?

It always starts with a country code (for Belgium: BE), followed by two numbers and then your account number.
Example: BE12 3456 7890 1234

Where can I find my IBAN?

You can easily find it:

• On your bank card (usually printed on the front or back)

• In your banking app or online banking (under “Account details”)

• On your bank statements

• Or by asking your bank directly

You’ll also need your BIC (SWIFT) code

That’s your bank’s international code; for example: KREDBEBB for KBC, GEBABEBB for BNP Paribas Fortis, AXABBE22 for AXA Bank.

Don’t worry;  you don’t have to guess these. Your bank or banking app always shows them clearly.
