GB/T 20543-2006

This standard specifies the components of the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) to facilitate data processing in cross-border data exchange in the financial sector and other industries. IBAN is designed for automated processing. However, under appropriate circumstances, it can also be easily applied to information exchange based on other media (such as the exchange of paper documents, etc.). This standard does not specify the internal processes, document organization techniques, storage media, or text formats involved in implementing this standard. It is not used to advance the information processing process within a network, but only for the transmission of text data between systems (networks).
