Pakistan IBAN Validator
Validate any Pakistani IBAN instantly — length, structure and mod-97 checksum — and identify the bank from its code. Private, checked in your browser.
About the Pakistan IBAN Validator
One mistyped character in an IBAN can bounce a salary transfer or send a remittance into limbo for days. This validator checks a Pakistani IBAN the same way banks do: correct length (exactly 24 characters), correct structure (PK + 2 check digits + 4-letter bank code + 16-character account number) and the international mod-97 checksum that catches virtually every typo.
When the IBAN is valid, the tool identifies the bank from its 4-letter code — HBL, UBL, Meezan, MCB, Bank Alfalah, JS Bank and two dozen more — and gives you a cleanly formatted version plus a masked version that is safe to share in screenshots and invoices without exposing the full account number.
Validation runs entirely in your browser: the IBAN is never transmitted or stored anywhere, which matters when you're checking real account numbers. Note that a passing checksum confirms the IBAN is well-formed — it cannot confirm the account exists or who owns it, so always verify the account title with the bank before a large transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the format of a Pakistani IBAN?
24 characters: PK, then 2 check digits, then a 4-letter bank code (e.g. MEZN for Meezan Bank, HABB for HBL), then a 16-character account number. Example: PK36 SCBL 0000 0011 2345 6702.
How does the checksum catch typos?
IBANs use the ISO mod-97 algorithm: the characters are rearranged, letters converted to numbers, and the whole value must leave remainder 1 when divided by 97. Changing any single character breaks this, so nearly all typos are detected instantly.
Does a valid IBAN mean the account exists?
No. Validation confirms the IBAN is mathematically well-formed, not that the account is open or belongs to the person you expect. Banks verify the account title during the actual transfer — always double-check the recipient name.
Where do I find my IBAN?
On your cheque book, bank statement, or in your mobile banking app (usually under account details). You can also ask your branch — every Pakistani bank account has had an IBAN since SBP mandated them in 2012.
Is it safe to enter a real IBAN here?
Yes. The check runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — the IBAN is never sent to a server, logged or stored. You can even use the tool offline once the page is loaded.
Which bank codes does the tool recognize?
About 30 codes covering all major banks — HBL (HABB), UBL (UNIL), MCB (MUCB), NBP (NBPA), Meezan (MEZN), Bank Alfalah (ALFH), Askari (ASCM), Bank Al Habib (BAHL), JS Bank (JSBL) and more. An unrecognized code can still be a valid smaller or newer institution.
