Italy IBAN FAQ
Common questions about Italy IBAN format, validation, and international payments.
Italy IBANs are 27 characters long and always start with IT. The structure is: 2-letter country code + 2 check digits + 1 CIN letter + 5-digit ABI bank code + 5-digit CAB branch code + 12-char account number. An example Italy IBAN looks like: IT60 X054 2811 1010 0000 0123 456.
For SEPA payments within the EU/EEA — including to Italy — 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.
Italy 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 Italy IBAN is exactly 27 characters, starts with IT, 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.
