A Saudi IBAN starts with SA. Type your IBAN to check it, or try the example that the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) published.
Before you send money
A wrong IBAN can send your money to the wrong person. It can be hard to get the money back.
This tool does not make an IBAN from an account number. Ask your bank for the IBAN. You can find it in the bank app, on the bank statement, or from the branch.
The check shows only that the IBAN is written correctly. It does not show that the account exists, or that it belongs to the person you mean. Check the name of the receiver before you send.
Do you need the date of the transfer in the Hijri calendar? Try the Hijri date converter. To write the amount of the transfer in Arabic words, use the Tafqeet tool.
