Understanding Saudi IBANs

You can find your Saudi IBAN in several ways:
- Log in to your bank's mobile app or online banking
- Check your bank statement or welcome letter
- Visit any branch of your bank
- Call your bank's customer service number
When Is IBAN Required?
In Saudi Arabia, IBANs are mandatory for:
- Receiving your salary (SAMA requirement since 2012)
- International wire transfers (sending or receiving)
- Government payments and refunds
- Setting up direct debit for utility bills
Frequently Asked Questions
An IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is a standardised format used to identify bank accounts for international payments. In Saudi Arabia, IBANs are 24 characters long, starting with "SA", and are required for all electronic salary transfers and international wire transfers under SAMA regulations.
No. Your existing account number is embedded within the IBAN, but an IBAN is not a new number — it is an extended international format. The IBAN adds your country code (SA), two check digits, and a bank code in front of your existing account number to make it globally recognisable.
In a Saudi IBAN, characters 5 and 6 (after "SA" and the 2 check digits) contain the official SAMA 2-digit bank code. For example, "80" means Al Rajhi Bank, "20" means Riyad Bank, and "10" means Saudi National Bank. Use the lookup tool above to identify any bank instantly.
Domestic transfers between Saudi banks via the SARIE (Saudi Arabia Interbank Express) system are free and instant. For international transfers, each bank sets its own fees — typically ranging from SAR 10 to SAR 100 depending on the bank, destination country, and transfer amount.
An IBAN identifies a specific individual bank account, while a SWIFT/BIC code identifies the bank itself. For international transfers to Saudi Arabia, you typically need both: the recipient's IBAN and the bank's SWIFT code. The SWIFT code for Saudi banks usually ends in "SARI" (e.g., RIBLSARI for Riyad Bank).
Saudi salary slips processed through the Wage Protection System (WPS) usually display the recipient's IBAN in the payment details section. It will be labelled "IBAN" and start with "SA" followed by 22 digits. If it is not on your slip, check your bank's app or statement.
