Spain IBAN Format
24-character IBAN · EUR Euro · SEPA zone
A Spain IBAN is 24 characters long and always begins with the country code ES, followed by two check digits. The next 4 characters are the Bank Code (Entidad). This is followed by the Branch Code (Oficina) (4 characters). The remaining 10 characters identify the individual account number. The Spain IBAN uses the EUR (Euro) and is a <strong>SEPA member</strong>, meaning euro transfers from other SEPA countries are fast and low-cost.

Pattern validates length, country code, check digit positions, and field character types. Does not verify the MOD-97 checksum (use the validator above for full validation).
$iban = strtoupper(str_replace(' ', '', $input));
if (!preg_match('/^ES\\d{2}\\d{4}\\d{4}\\d{2}\\d{10}$/', $iban)) {
// Invalid Spain IBAN format
}const iban = input.replace(/\s+/g, '').toUpperCase();
const pattern = /^ES\d{2}\d{4}\d{4}\d{2}\d{10}$/;
if (!pattern.test(iban)) {
// Invalid Spain IBAN format
}import re
iban = input_str.replace(' ', '').upper()
pattern = r'^ES\d{2}\d{4}\d{4}\d{2}\d{10}$'
if not re.fullmatch(pattern, iban):

How to Find Your Spain IBAN
Spain accounts are traditionally identified using: Bank Code / Código Entidad (4n) + Branch Code / Código Oficina (4n) + Control Digits / Dígitos de Control (2n) + Account Number / Número de Cuenta (10n). Your IBAN encodes these same components in the standardised international format.

Sending Money to Spain

- IBAN (24 characters, starts with ES)
Spain is a SEPA member. IBAN alone is sufficient for SEPA euro transfers. The traditional Spanish CCC (Código Cuenta Cliente) format maps directly to the BBAN. The 2 control digits use MOD-11 to validate the account. Spanish banks display accounts as 20-digit CCC numbers.
Specialist services typically charge significantly less than high-street banks for international transfers.
