Do you need an IBAN in Germany?
Yes. If you’re making – or expecting to receive – an international money transfer to a bank account in Germany, then just a standard bank account number isn’t enough. If you want your money to arrive quickly and safely, you’ll usually need to give the bank a few extra details, such as an IBAN or SWIFT code.
Banks assign IBANs to each of their accounts to make sure that international transfers are processed correctly.
IBANs contain all of the country, bank, and account details you need to send or receive money internationally. This system is used throughout Europe, and also recognised in some areas of the Middle East, North Africa and the Caribbean.
