How the IBAN is built in Italy

The IBAN (International Bank Account Number) in Italy has 27 characters. It starts with the country code IT, followed by two check digits. The BBAN part (Basic Bank Account Number) then holds the bank code (5 digits, positions 6 to 10 of the IBAN) and the account number (12 digits, positions 16 to 27). Between the bank code and the account number there are 5 further digits (for example a branch code or check character).
