Djibouti IBAN validator

A Djiboutian IBAN is 27 characters, entirely numeric: “DJ”, two check digits, a 5-digit bank code, a 5-digit branch code, an 11-digit account number, and 2 national check digits at the end — the same four-segment structure Burundi’s IBAN uses, despite the two countries sitting on opposite ends of East Africa. Djibouti’s own distinguishing feature isn’t in the IBAN’s shape but in its economy: the country sits on the Bab-el-Mandeb strait at the mouth of the Red Sea, one of the busiest shipping corridors in the world, and its currency, the Djiboutian franc, has held a fixed exchange-rate peg to the US dollar since 1949 — one of the longest-running currency pegs still in place anywhere. The Central Bank of Djibouti oversees the domestic banking system this IBAN format describes, and that long-standing dollar peg is part of why Djibouti’s port and banking sector handle significant international trade finance relative to the country’s size.

How this validator works

This tool checks the “DJ” prefix and confirms all 25 remaining characters are digits, split into a 5-digit bank code, 5-digit branch code, 11-digit account number, and 2 national check digits, then runs the mod-97 checksum (ISO 7064) — entirely in your browser, nothing sent to a server.

What a pass doesn’t tell you

A pass confirms the 27 digits are correctly structured and internally consistent — not that the account is open or belongs to whoever you expect. This tool does no lookup against the Central Bank of Djibouti or any commercial bank there. If a Djiboutian IBAN fails, check the 11-digit account number in the middle first — it’s the longest single block and the one most likely to hide a dropped digit.

Scope: Djiboutian IBAN structure and mod-97 checksum validation only — not payment processing or confirmation an account is active. Catch the typo here; confirm the account with the bank.
