How the IBAN is built in Cyprus

The IBAN (International Bank Account Number) in Cyprus has 28 characters. It starts with the country code CY, followed by two check digits. The BBAN part (Basic Bank Account Number) then holds the bank code (3 digits, positions 5 to 7 of the IBAN) and the account number (16 digits, positions 13 to 28). Between the bank code and the account number there are 5 further digits (for example a branch code or check character).
