More about BIC (SWIFT) and IBAN

Every bank has its own unique Bank Identifier Code (BIC). The BIC was formerly known as the SWIFT code and is sometimes still referred to as such. The BIC for ABN AMRO is ABNANL2A. Here’s when you’ll need it:

• Planning to transfer money from your account to a bank outside the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA)? You will need the BIC of that bank.
• If you’re sending money in a currency other than euros, the recipient’s bank BIC is necessary.
• If someone from outside SEPA wants to send you money, they’ll need ABN AMRO’s BIC.

An International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is an account number used for transferring money. With IBAN, you can make payments more easily within the SEPA area, and sometimes even beyond. Learn how to transfer money to countries both inside and outside the SEPA region.

You can find your IBAN:

• on your debit card In your account overview 
• in Internet Banking or the ABN AMRO app
• on your paper bank statements

Your IBAN consists of 18 letters and numbers, starting with a country code (in the Netherlands, that’s NL). Next is a check digit, which is 99 in the example below. Following that is the bank code. For ABN AMRO, the bank code is ABNA. Finally, you’ll see your account number, which may include one or two extra zeros if needed.

Example: NL99 ABNA 0123 3457 89
