Saudi Arabia IBAN Format
24-character IBAN · SAR Saudi Riyal
A Saudi Arabia IBAN is 24 characters long and always begins with the country code SA, followed by two check digits. The next 2 characters are the Bank Code. The remaining 18 characters identify the individual account number. The Saudi Arabia IBAN uses the SAR (Saudi Riyal) and is not part of the SEPA zone, so international transfer fees and timelines apply.
