How IBAN works in Cyprus

Common questions about IBANs in Cyprus

It is CY. Every IBAN in Cyprus starts with CY, followed by 2 check digits.

Where do I find my IBAN?

In your online banking or banking app, on a bank statement, or by asking your bank. Copy it exactly as shown.

Does a correct-looking IBAN prove the account exists?

No. A correct format only means the length and check digits fit. It does not prove the account exists or belongs to the right person. Confirm the details with the person you are paying before you send money.
