FAQ

What is an IBAN?

IBAN stands for International Bank Account Number, a standardized format for identifying bank accounts internationally.

What is a SWIFT/BIC code?

SWIFT/BIC codes are unique identifiers for banks and financial institutions, used in international transactions.

How does checksum verification work?

Checksum verification ensures the code is mathematically correct, reducing errors in transactions.
