Apie šį epizodą
IBAN stands for International Bank Account Number: a standard format used to identify a specific payment account when money is sent or received. An IBAN normally includes a country code, check digits, and information identifying the financial institution and the account itself.
That structure is what makes it useful. Because the format is predictable, systems can route a payment to the correct destination and catch mistyped details before the money moves, which cuts down on errors and failed transfers.
The name misleads people. Despite the "international" in IBAN, it is not reserved for cross-border payments — it is used routinely for domestic and SEPA transfers too. In simple terms, your IBAN is the address used to direct money to your account, and every Demivolt business account comes with a dedicated one in the company's own name.
