 Hey guys welcome back to my YouTube channel This is Daniel Roto the subject of today's video continuing with the personal finances theme is Attempting to demystify getting iBan numbers if you're living in Israel So first thing to say I'm gonna drag over my notepad and you guys can see me typing in Hebrew an iBan In Hebrew is called a miss par zahav and if you know Hebrew You know that that literally translates to Golden number I think unless they have is another meaning in any event to find your iBan if you use online banking Which is always recommended especially in Israel where bank opening hours are? Not the best out there You it's all it's always there. I've been with two banks in Israel and both had it in their websites You just need to play around with the online interface and somewhere in the account details page You'll see a button for iBan or you know a miss par has a half shali etc Etc. The other detail you might need for international transactions is the swift number and in Hebrew That's commonly just written like this swift So that's the general way that it is whatever the opera the opposite of anglicized is Hebrew sized like this Swift and iBan is miss par zahav and the iBan is a is a international standard for denoting an account And is typically required actually for getting money from abroad to Israel at the bank of Israel Actually have an isolated resource. I thought I'd go through as well explaining how an iBan works in Israel So the iBan number it has it's the standard format is defined according to ISO standard 13616 and it starts with a two letter Two letters which identify the country and in Israel that is I al okay I al is Israel's identifier in this iso standard Then you have miss power be correct. You have two letters that are check digits and Then you have the next three fields if you will are code the bank And I just did a video Explaining the bank code system in Israel and where you can find you should always know what your banks code is And in the iBan standards, it's a it's three letters are available for the bank code And again, I'll link off to the description But if you don't know your bank code or your iBan you can just ask your bank It should be there in your online interface or you could always go into the branch and ask them for a printout Then you have code sniff, which is a three digit identifier for your branch of that bank And miss power cashbone is your branch is your account number. So putting all those details together the country the bank codes the branch code and the account number if you put all that info together you get a unique identifier now the way it works is that For example, if you're and we're gonna just do this simulator thing in a second If you have a two so it's it's two digits The the bank numbers are an agent in israel are usually two digits, right? So if I scroll down through the bank code thing here I only see two digit identifiers in use in israel But the iso standard requires three so the way it works is that if it's um, it's prefixed with zero If that doesn't exist. So for instance, if you're with bank leo me It's bank code in israel is 10 But when you uh, if you look at your i-band number, you'll notice it's zero one zero Because there is three digits, right? Um, and similarly In israel three numbers are typically used for the branch and that accords with the iso standard But the the account number in israel I think are typically six digits And the iso standard actually has 13 letters. So again, it's uh, you you prefix it with zero So this is just a simulator that the bank of israel has on their website, which it gives you an idea for how it works you put in your bank code your Sneef your branch identifier and then your account number and then there's a little calculate button here and a pop site with a simulator i-band il Two check digits Here nine and three and we saw that city bank was two two so they prefixed to zero so it becomes zero two two Five one seven was preserved and we added one two three four five six seven seven uh blanks zeros in order to get us up to the requisite 13 Digits in the i-band standard and then the final ones are the actual account number So that's how it works. You can check in your online banking and once you have this you can get money Um into your account in israel Thank you guys for watching more videos including those about living in israel will be coming soon
