Your IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is a standardized version of your bank account number used for international payments.
You can usually find your IBAN:
- In your bank’s mobile app (account details or payment details)
- On a bank statement
- In online banking
- By contacting your bank’s customer support
| 💡 In most banking apps, you can tap Account details or Share account to see or copy your IBAN. |
IBAN vs. your local bank account number
-
Local bank account number
Used for domestic payments only. Format and length vary by country. -
IBAN
Used for international payments.
Includes:- A country code (e.g. SE, DE, NL)
- Check digits
- Your local bank and account number
This makes sure payouts are sent safely across borders.
✅ Check your IBAN before entering it
Before you save your IBAN in the Emaldo® app, you can quickly validate it online to make sure it’s formatted correctly. This helps reduce registration errors and avoids delays with your Grid Rewards payout.
We recommend using this free IBAN validator:
🔗 IBAN Checker – Bank Codes
https://bank.codes/iban/validate/ — A free tool that checks your IBAN’s structure, length, and check digits, and shows which country and bank your IBAN belongs to.
How to use it:
Open the link in your mobile browser.
Paste your full IBAN (including country code).
Click Validate.
If the tool says your IBAN is valid, you can copy it and paste it into the Emaldo® app.
📌 Important: These tools only check the IBAN format and internal validity — they do not verify whether the account actually exists or belongs to you. Only your bank can confirm that.
🇩🇰 Denmark — How IBAN works here
In Denmark, your IBAN always starts with “DK”, followed by two check digits and then a string of numbers that includes your bank code and account number. Danish IBANs are 18 characters long in total. bank-code.net+1
Example:
DK50 0040 0440 1162 43
Where to find it:
In your bank’s mobile app under Account details
In online banking or your bank statement
By contacting your bank’s support
Because the IBAN embeds your local bank account details in a standard international format, it’s different from a local Danish account number — the IBAN includes extra check digits and the country code so it can safely be used for international transfers like your Grid Rewards payout.
🇸🇪 Sweden — How IBAN works here
In Sweden, your IBAN always starts with “SE”, followed by two check digits and a bank/branch code plus your full account number. Swedish IBANs are 24 characters long.
Example:
SE45 5000 0000 0583 9825 7466
Where to find it:
In your bank’s mobile app
In online banking or on bank statements
By asking your bank
Like in Denmark, the Swedish IBAN is broader than a local account number — it combines your domestic account details into a standard international format so the payment system can route cross-border transfers reliably.
🧠 Why this matters
Local account numbers are usually only used within your own country. An IBAN includes a country code and check digits that let international systems accurately validate and route the payment — this is why Emaldo® requires your IBAN for Grid Rewards payouts.
