What are IBANs and BICs?

The Regulation is also intended to help banks automate their transfer
systems. An International Bank Account Number (IBAN) and a Bank
Identifier Code (BIC) are the prerequisites of automation and so the
customer must supply these data.

IBAN is the international bank account number of the payment
beneficiary. Existing bank account numbering systems are strictly
national and do not include any particulars indicating the country in
which an account is located. The IBAN standard consists simply in each
account number being preceded by a group of four characters: two letters
identifying the country, like an international telephone number, and two
figures enabling the IBAN to be checked in order to avoid transcription
errors. It comprises a maximum of 34 characters but has a fixed length
per country, i.e. 16 characters in Belgium and 27 in France.

The BIC (Bank Identifier Code) simply designates the payment
beneficiary's bank. It adds to the information provided by the IBAN
code. It usually consists of 11 characters, but sometimes only 8. The
BIC is also known as the SWIFT code or address.
