International Bank Account Number of a bank account in Germany. It has 22 characters, all digits after the country code: DE, two IBAN check digits, the 8-digit bank code (Bankleitzahl) and a 10-digit account number padded with leading zeros. Since SEPA replaced the national transfer formats in 2014 it is the usual form of a German account number.
