IBAN Format Reference & Validator
Look up the IBAN length, BBAN structure and a sample IBAN for 88 countries, then validate any IBAN instantly with a live MOD-97 (ISO 13616) checksum check.
IBAN validator
UEMOA RIB to IBAN converter
Banks in Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo usually print the 24-character domestic RIB. Paste it here to get the full 28-character IBAN: the RIB key is verified and the IBAN check digits are computed, never guessed.

About IBAN Format Reference & Validator
This page combines an IBAN validator with a country-by-country format directory. Type or paste any IBAN and it is checked live: character set, country code, exact length for that country and the MOD-97 checksum defined by ISO 13616. A valid number is pretty-printed in four-character groups with a copy button.
The directory covers close to 90 countries, including the eight UEMOA countries of West Africa, listing each country’s total IBAN length, its BBAN structure in shorthand (bank code, branch, account number, check digits) and a sample IBAN. Columns are sortable, the list is searchable, and a legend decodes the structure notation.
Every example row has a “use example” button that loads the specimen into the validator, which makes the page useful both for verifying a customer-supplied IBAN before a transfer and for developers testing payment forms. Validation is purely structural: it confirms the format and checksum, not that a real account exists.
A dedicated converter turns the 24-character RIB printed by banks in Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo into the full 28-character IBAN. It verifies the RIB key, restores country letters that were deleted from the bank code and computes the IBAN check digits (BJ66, CI93, SN08...) instead of pasting a fixed prefix.
How to use IBAN Format Reference & Validator
- Paste or type an IBAN into the validator at the top of the page: it is checked as you type.
- Review the individual checks: allowed characters, detected country, expected length and the MOD-97 checksum result.
- Copy the correctly grouped, pretty-printed IBAN with the copy button once it validates.
- Search or sort the country directory to find a country’s IBAN length, BBAN structure and sample number.
- Click “use example” on any country row to load its specimen IBAN into the validator and see the checks pass.
- For a West African account, paste the RIB into the UEMOA converter: it checks the RIB key and builds the IBAN, ready to copy or validate.
