Palestine IBAN validator
How the IBAN format works
- Format
- PS + 2 check digits + 4-letter bank code + 21-char account number (29 chars)
- Example
- PS92PALS000000000400123456702
Things to watch for
- 29 characters total
- Checks structure and checksum only, not that the account exists
^PS[0-9]{2}[A-Z]{4}[0-9A-Z]{21}$A Palestine IBAN is 29 characters: “PS”, two check digits, a 4-letter bank code, and a 21-character account-number block that can mix digits and letters. That structure — 4-letter code plus a wide alphanumeric account block — puts it at exactly the same overall length as Qatar’s IBAN, even though the two countries sit in entirely different banking systems and currency environments. Anyone sending funds to a Palestinian account, paying a supplier, or filling out an international transfer form asking for an IBAN rather than a local account number needs all 29 characters entered precisely.
How this validator works
This tool checks for the “PS” prefix, verifies the bank-code block is exactly 4 letters and the account block is exactly 21 alphanumeric characters, then runs the mod-97 checksum (ISO 7064) used to generate valid Palestinian IBANs. The whole process is client-side, with no server round-trip and no signup wall — you see the result the moment you stop typing. Given how wide the account block is, a single dropped or swapped character is easy to introduce when copying the number by hand, which is exactly what the checksum step exists to catch.
What a pass doesn’t tell you
A pass here means the IBAN is correctly formed and internally consistent — nothing about whether the account is open, active, or belongs to the person or business you expect. This tool does no bank-name lookup and makes no contact with the Palestine Monetary Authority or any bank. If a Palestinian IBAN you’ve been given fails, work through the 21-character account block in short segments against the original source — that’s where a mistyped character is most likely hiding.
Scope: Palestine 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 itself.

IBAN FAQ
How long is a Palestinian IBAN?
29 characters: 'PS', two check digits, a 4-letter bank code, and a 21-character alphanumeric account-number block — the same overall length as Qatar's IBAN, e.g. PS92PALS000000000400123456702.
Why does Palestine's IBAN structure resemble Qatar's more than Israel's?
Palestine and Qatar both use a 4-letter bank code plus a 21-character account block for 29 characters total, while neighboring Israel packs everything into a shorter, all-numeric 19-digit block. Each central monetary authority sets its own format independently — there's no regional standard requiring similarity.
Can this tool confirm which bank a Palestinian account belongs to?
No. It checks structure and the mod-97 checksum only, entirely client-side. Resolving the 4-letter bank code to a specific institution, or confirming the account is active, requires the bank or the Palestine Monetary Authority.
