The IBAN (International Bank Account Number) in Bulgaria has 22 characters. It starts with the country code BG, followed by two check digits. The BBAN part (Basic Bank Account Number) then holds the bank code (4 digits, positions 5 to 8 of the IBAN) and the account number (8 digits, positions 15 to 22). Between the bank code and the account number there are 6 further digits (for example a branch code or check character).
