What is an IBAN?
International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is a standardised system for identifying bank accounts internationally. In Qatar, all IBANs are 29 digits long, and contain all the required information to ensure safe and correct domestic and international transactions.
Key Benefits of Using IBAN:
- Reduces Errors: Removes delays or unsuccessful payments caused by wrong bank details.
- Simplifies Transactions: Merges all information in accounts into one standardized format.
- Global Acceptance: Famous internationally for smooth money transfers.

Why Validate Your IBAN?
Our Qatar IBAN checker makes sure your IBAN is in the right format by:
- Verifying the check digits to check the integrity of the IBAN.
- Finding the Bank Identifier Code (BIC) for the right routing.
- Decomposing the IBAN in order to show the bank and account details.
Note: Although validation verifies the IBAN’s format, never rely on the IBAN only, always check the details with your recipient to avoid sending money to the wrong account.
How Banks Create IBANs
Banks generate IBANs by combining:
- Country code (e.g., QA for Qatar).
- Check digits (calculated to validate the IBAN).
- Bank and branch codes.
- Your unique account number.
This tool decodes your IBAN revealing the bank name and account details for clarity.
When Do You Need an IBAN?
- Transferring money abroad (in particular, in Europe and the Middle East).
- Domestic transfers in Qatar (since 2014 mandatory).
- Online payments requiring IBAN for verification.
Risks of Using an Incorrect IBAN
- Failed Transactions: Banks can refuse transfers using impersonal IBANs.
- Fees: Your bank may charge for unsuccessful or returned payments.
- Lost Funds: If the IBAN is valid, but wrong, money may end up in the wrong account.
Common IBAN Mistakes
- Typing Errors: IBANs are long – copy and paste if possible.
- Incorrect Format: Use the digital form (no spaces) for online transfers.
- Missing Details: Other banks demand additional recipient information.
Always Confirm with Your Recipient
Our checker checks format but not existence of an account. Before sending money:
- Check the IBAN either with the recipient or with the bank.
- Report any error to your bank as soon as possible.
