IBANs Now Required for Many International Wires

Effective January 1, 2007, 30 countries require the use of an International Bank Account Number (IBAN) for wire transfers.  These countries are:

Andorra	Gibraltar	Netherlands
Austria	Greece	Norway
Belgium	Hungary	Poland
Cyprus	Iceland	Portugal
Czech Republic	Ireland	Slovak Republic
Denmark	Italy	Slovenia
Estonia	Latvia	Spain
Finland	Lithuania	Sweden
France	Luxembourg	Switzerland
Germany	Malta	United Kingdom

If you expect to be wiring funds to any of the countries listed above, please note that a specific IBAN is now required to process the wire order.  The IBAN is a combination of country, financial institution and account number information.  The number of characters contained in an IBAN will vary by country.

We have been advised that wires without this important number will be returned.  Returned wires may be subject to loss of funds due to exchange rate variations and fees charged by the receiving institution.

Please contact your foreign financial institution to be certain of the IBAN number of your (or your beneficiary’s) account there.  Because of privacy regulations, RTN will not be able to get an IBAN for you.  In this situation we must rely on our members to present complete and accurate IBAN information.

More information including an IBAN checker function can be found on the website of APACS, the UK association for overseas institutions delivering payment services to customers.

We hope these details prove helpful to any foreign wire transfers you may request from RTN in the future.  If you have any questions about these new procedures, we will do our best to assist you. 

The Credit Union thanks you for your cooperation in this important matter.
