Q: How long is a Ukraine IBAN?

A Ukraine IBAN is 29 characters long.

29-character IBAN · UAH Ukrainian Hryvnia

A Ukraine IBAN is 29 characters long and always begins with the country code UA, followed by two check digits. The next 6 characters are the Bank Code (MFO). The remaining 19 characters identify the individual account number. The Ukraine IBAN uses the UAH (Ukrainian Hryvnia) and is not part of the SEPA zone, so international transfer fees and timelines apply.

Ukraine IBAN Regex Pattern

^UA\d{2}\d{6}\d{19}$

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).

PHP

$iban = strtoupper(str_replace(' ', '', $input));
if (!preg_match('/^UA\\d{2}\\d{6}\\d{19}$/', $iban)) {
    // Invalid Ukraine IBAN format
}

JavaScript

const iban = input.replace(/\s+/g, '').toUpperCase();
const pattern = /^UA\d{2}\d{6}\d{19}$/;
if (!pattern.test(iban)) {
  // Invalid Ukraine IBAN format
}

Python

import re
iban = input_str.replace(' ', '').upper()
pattern = r'^UA\d{2}\d{6}\d{19}$'
if not re.fullmatch(pattern, iban):
    # Invalid Ukraine IBAN format

These snippets check format only. For full IBAN validation including MOD-97 checksum, use a dedicated IBAN library or the validator on this page.

How to Find Your Ukraine IBAN

Ukraine accounts are traditionally identified using: Bank Code (6n) + Account Number (19c). Your IBAN encodes these same components in the standardised international format.

1
Mobile banking app — Open your bank's app, navigate to account details or "Account Info." Your IBAN is usually displayed alongside your account number. Look for a field labelled "IBAN" or "International Account Number."
2
Bank statement — Your Ukraine IBAN appears in the account header of your printed or PDF bank statement, typically near the top of the first page.
3
Online banking — Log in to your bank's website and go to "Account Details," "Account Summary," or "Profile." Most Ukraine banks display the IBAN prominently in account settings.
4
Bank branch or helpline — Call your bank's customer service or visit a branch with your ID. They can provide your full IBAN instantly.

Once you have your IBAN, use the validator above to confirm it is correctly formatted before sharing it.

Sending Money to Ukraine

Ukraine is not a SEPA member. Transfers require both an IBAN and a BIC/SWIFT code. Expect 2–5 business days and a SWIFT correspondent fee (typically $10–$40 USD via a traditional bank). Using a specialist service like Wise or Revolut can significantly reduce these fees.

What to provide

Recipient's full name
IBAN (29 characters, starts with UA)
BIC / SWIFT code
Recipient's bank address (some banks)

Typical transfer time

2–5 days

Via SWIFT network. Specialist services (Wise, Revolut) are often faster and cheaper than traditional bank wires.

Ukraine adopted IBAN in 2020. Not SEPA. Always include BIC. Ukraine uses UAH (Ukrainian Hryvnia). The National Bank of Ukraine mandated IBAN from July 2020. Due to the ongoing conflict, transfer availability may vary by correspondent bank.
