Starting in April Ukrainian banks will start identifying accounts with IBAN numbers, the National Bank of Ukraine reports. Started two decades ago and now used by over 70 countries, the International Bank Account Number is an internationally agreed system for identifying bank accounts across national borders, easing processing of international transactions. An IBAN consists of up to 34 alphanumeric characters comprising: a country code, two check digits, a domestic bank account number, bank branch identifier, and routing information.
