A Dutch IBAN consists of 18 alpha-numeric characters:
Dutch IBAN codes contain all the country, bank, and account details required to send or receive money internationally.
Dutch banks assign IBAN codes to each individual account to make sure that international transfers are processed correctly.
IBAN codes are used throughout Europe, and also accepted in some areas of the Middle East, North Africa and the Caribbean.
When you send or receive an international wire with your bank, you might lose money on a bad exchange rate, which is like a hidden fee. That’s because the banks still use an old system to exchange money. We recommend you use Wise, which is usually much cheaper. Wise’s smart technology:
