IBAN for Seb Bank

The Lithuania IBAN consists of exactly 20 characters and includes three elements:

• Country code (positions 1–2): Lithuania identifies Lithuania according to the ISO 3166-1 standard.
• Check digits (positions 3–4): used to automatically verify that the IBAN is valid.
• BBAN (positions 5–20): corresponds to the national account number, whose structure depends on Lithuania.

It depends on the destination of the transfer:

• Within the SEPA zone: no. For all euro transfers within the SEPA zone, the IBAN is sufficient. The BIC has been determined automatically since SEPA was introduced in 2014.
• Outside the SEPA zone: yes. For international transfers (for example to the United States or Asia), the BIC (also known as the SWIFT code) is required.

You can find the BIC for Seb Bank on your bank statement or under "Account details" online.

You can find your IBAN in the following places:

• Online banking or app: once logged in, go to "Account overview" or "Account details." Your IBAN can usually be copied in one click.
• Bank statement: every official Seb Bank statement shows your full banking details (IBAN and BIC), typically at the top of the document.

Tip: the fastest option is the app, your IBAN can usually be copied in a single click and shared without errors.

Yes, but with an important difference depending on the destination country:

• Within the SEPA zone (including all EU member states as well as Switzerland, Norway, and Iceland): the IBAN is sufficient for all euro transfers. A BIC is not required, it's determined automatically.
• Outside the SEPA zone (e.g. USA, Canada, Asia): the IBAN is accepted, but must be accompanied by the BIC for Seb Bank. In addition, many receiving banks outside Europe require the bank's full address.
• Receiving international payments: you can also use your Seb Bank IBAN to receive transfers from abroad. It's recommended to provide both the IBAN and BIC; for payments from non-SEPA countries, the BIC is essential.

Note: for transfers in foreign currencies (e.g. USD, GBP), currency conversion fees may apply. Check with Seb Bank in advance for the applicable terms.

No, and this distinction is crucial for transfers:

• What a valid IBAN confirms: the length, country code, and check digits are correct according to the Modulo-97 method (ISO 13616). The IBAN is formally valid.
• What a valid IBAN does not confirm:
  ❌ The account actually exists at Seb Bank
  ❌ The account is active and able to receive funds
  ❌ The account holder is correct
• Why this matters: an IBAN can pass all mathematical validation checks and still not correspond to a real account: for example, if digits were transposed, accidentally creating another formally valid combination.

Recommendation: ask the recipient to confirm the IBAN in writing, especially for a new business relationship or a large amount. Account existence can only be verified by Seb Bank itself or through a test transfer.

It depends on the error in the IBAN, there are two scenarios:

In this case:

• the receiving bank must cooperate to return the funds
• your bank can initiate a recall procedure upon request
• reimbursement is not guaranteed, especially if the funds have already been withdrawn
• for transfers outside SEPA, recovery is more complex and may incur fees

Recommendation: always verify every IBAN before making a transfer (using a verification tool) and confirm it directly with the recipient if in doubt. This is especially important for large amounts or new business relationships.
