What Is an IBAN and How to Find Yours at iFAST Global Bank 

An IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is a globally standardized format used to identify your bank account during international transfers. It includes: 

  • Country Code – e.g., "GB" for the UK 

  • Check Digits – 2 unique numbers that validate the IBAN 

  • BBAN (Basic Bank Account Number) – which includes bank code, branch/sort code, and account number 

 

🏦 Your iFAST IBAN Format 

Your personal iFAST Global Bank IBAN is unique. It includes unique check digits generated specifically for your account. 

✅ Format: 
GB**XX**EZYR040001 + your 8-digit account number 
(The XX are check digits unique to you.) 

Example: 
If your check digits are 45 and your account number is 12345678, your IBAN would be: 
GB45EZYR04000112345678 * 

*Do not use this example IBANs for receiving international payments. Always verify your actual IBAN in your account. 

 

✅ Why is the IBAN Important? 

  • Cross-Border Payments: Ensures international transfers reach the right bank and account. 

  • Error Reduction: Reduces mistakes thanks to a standardized format. 

  • Security: Sharing your IBAN allows incoming transfers without exposing sensitive data. 

 

 🔍 How to Find Your iFAST IBAN: 


SWIFT Code vs IBAN 

When receiving money from abroad, you'll typically need both a SWIFT Code and an IBAN. The SWIFT Code identifies the recipient's bank, while the IBAN (International Bank Account Number) identifies the specific bank account of the recipient.  

iFAST's Unique SWIFT Code Format: EZYRGB2LDPB 

In simple terms, the SWIFT Code tells other banks where the money is going to, and the IBAN tells it which account within iFAST Global Bank should receive the funds.
