The IBAN does not refer to the bank (although each bank using IBANs has its own way of structuring them), but to your account - IOW it\'s *your* IBAN, not the bank\'s.

The SWIFT BIC (=bank identifier code) is the code identifying your bank in international cross-border payments; if you don\'t have an IBAN, use your account number, but always include the SWIFT code.
