Israel IBAN validator
How the IBAN format works
- Format
- IL + 2 check digits + 19-digit bank/branch/account number (23 chars)
- Example
- IL620108000000099999999
Things to watch for
- 23 characters total, all numeric after the country code
- Checks structure and checksum only, not that the account exists
^IL[0-9]{2}[0-9]{19}$An Israel IBAN is 23 characters, and everything after the “IL” prefix is a digit — no letters anywhere in the BBAN. That’s two check digits followed by a single 19-digit block that combines bank code, branch code, and account number, all numeric. This all-digit design is unusual in the region: Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan all mix letters into their bank codes, but Israel (like Egypt, at a different length) keeps the entire structure numeric. Anyone sending money into Israel, invoicing an Israeli counterparty, or completing a payment form that requests an IBAN rather than a local account number needs the full 19-digit block exactly right.
How this validator works
The check confirms the “IL” prefix and that exactly 19 digits follow the two check digits, then runs the mod-97 checksum (ISO 7064) that Israeli banks use to generate valid IBANs — all locally in your browser; nothing is transmitted anywhere and there’s no signup. Because the whole 19-digit block is numeric with no letters to anchor your eye, it’s a string where a single transposed digit is especially easy to miss without a checksum to catch it.
What a pass doesn’t tell you
A pass confirms the number is correctly formed and internally consistent — not that the account behind it exists, is currently open, or belongs to whoever you believe it does. This tool performs no lookup against Bank of Israel records and makes no contact with any bank or clearing system. If an Israeli IBAN fails, re-enter the 19-digit block slowly in groups of three or four digits — that’s usually where the mistake hides.
Scope: Israel IBAN structure and mod-97 checksum validation only — not payment processing or proof an account is active. Use this to catch a typo before a transfer fails; your bank confirms the account itself.

IBAN FAQ
Are there any letters in an Israeli IBAN besides the country code?
No. After the 'IL' prefix and two check digits, the remaining 19 characters are all digits — bank code, branch code, and account number run together with no letters anywhere in the BBAN, e.g. IL620108000000099999999.
How is a 19-digit block divided between bank, branch, and account?
The 19 digits combine bank code, branch code, and account number without a fixed public delimiter in the IBAN string itself — your bank statement or banking app will show the underlying breakdown for your specific account.
Does this tool check whether the account is open at an Israeli bank?
No. It checks only that the 23 characters are correctly structured and pass the mod-97 checksum. It has no connection to the Bank of Israel or any bank's account records.
