IBAN, or "International Bank Account Number," represents the ISO 13616 international standard used for bank account numbering. This system supports the exchange and processing of transactions across borders by enabling the sharing of account identification information in a format that machines can read
“Oman's IBAN structure comprises 23 digits, beginning with 2 characters for the country code, followed by 2 digits for check digits, then 3 digits for the bank identifier, and finally, 16 digits for the customer account numbers”.
IBAN does not replace a bank's own account numbering, as it’s only meant to provide additional information that helps in identifying overseas payments to ensure accuracy and reduce errors in this process.
