Remitly FAQ

How can I find my IBAN?

You can find your IBAN on your bank statement, online banking account, or by contacting your bank. Many banks also provide IBAN calculators to help generate the correct format.

What’s the difference between a Routing Number, SWIFT Code, and IBAN?

A routing number is a 9-digit code used for domestic transfers in the U.S. A SWIFT code (8–11 characters) identifies banks worldwide for international transfers. An IBAN (up to 34 characters) specifies individual bank accounts for international transactions, mainly in Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Asia and Africa. While routing numbers are U.S.-specific, SWIFT codes and IBANs are used globally for cross-border payments.

When do I need an IBAN?

You need an IBAN for international bank transfers in countries that use the system. It ensures payments reach the correct account and may be required to receive money or domestic transfers in some regions.
