Ireland IBAN FAQ
Common questions about Ireland IBAN format, validation, and international payments.
Ireland IBANs are 22 characters long and always start with IE. The structure is: 2-letter country code + 2 check digits + 4-char bank code + 6-digit sort code + 8-digit account number. An example Ireland IBAN looks like: IE29 AIBK 9311 5212 3456 78.
For SEPA payments within the EU/EEA — including to Ireland — the IBAN alone is sufficient. For international SWIFT international wire transfer wires from outside the SEPA zone, you will also need the bank's BIC/SWIFT code.
Ireland is in the SEPA bank transfer zone, so Bitwage routes your payment via SEPA — typically for free or a fraction of a percent. No $25–50 SWIFT wire fee. Just enter the contractor's IBAN and Bitwage handles the rest via {{link:products/contractor-payments}}.
A valid Ireland IBAN is exactly 22 characters, starts with IE, and passes the mod-97 check digit algorithm. Bitwage validates all IBANs automatically before routing any payment — preventing misdirected funds. For batch payments, use {{link:products/masspay}} with CSV upload.
