Account number is 6 to 10 digits. Australia bank state branch number: three digits.

The first six digits make up your BSB (like 306-089) and the next seven digits make up your account number (like 0001234).

The IBAN consists of an alphabetical country code, followed by two digits, and then up to thirty five characters for the bank account number. For payments being sent from Australia to an IBAN mandatory country, an IBAN must be included.

Sending or receiving a money transfer using your bank account? You'll need a SWIFT/BIC code for international bank transfers to and from Australia.

IBAN is an account format used by European banks. Australian banks do not use this format and an IBAN is not required to send money to a Commonwealth bank account in Australia. Other parties with an IBAN field on their overseas payment form can simply leave this field blank.

Is BSB the same as IBAN? No, an International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is used to identify a specific bank account - although they aren't used in Australia. A BSB code identifies a specific branch of the bank.

Each financial institution has its SWIFT code, sometimes also called a BIC (Business Identifier Code). So while the IBAN identifies an individual bank account, the SWIFT identifies the bank in which the sender and/or receiver's account is held.

A BSB is a six-digit number that identifies the bank, state and branch you opened your account in. Your account number is the identification number associated with your bank account. To pay or transfer money to someone, you'll need the recipient's BSB and Account number.
