Italian IBAN Validator
Validate any Italian IBAN instantly — 27-character format, ISO 7064 checksum, and ABI/CAB bank lookup.
Validate an Italian IBAN →Italian IBANs are 27 characters long, starting with 'IT'. They include a 1-character CIN check letter, a 5-digit ABI code (Associazione Bancaria Italiana bank code), a 5-digit CAB code (branch code), and a 12-character account number (c/c). BankValidor validates the structure, computes the ISO 7064 MOD-97 checksum, and identifies the bank from the ABI registry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Italian IBAN?
An Italian IBAN is a 27-character identifier used for all domestic and SEPA payments in Italy. It uniquely identifies the CIN control letter, the ABI bank code, the CAB branch code, and the 12-character current account number. Italy adopted the IBAN standard in 2001 and it became mandatory for SEPA in 2014.
What are ABI and CAB codes?
The ABI (Associazione Bancaria Italiana) code is a 5-digit number identifying the bank. The CAB (Codice di Avviamento Bancario) is a 5-digit branch identifier. Together they appear at positions 6-15 of the Italian IBAN. Intesa Sanpaolo has ABI 03069; UniCredit has ABI 02008.
What is the CIN letter in an Italian IBAN?
The CIN (Codice di Controllo Internazionale) is a single uppercase letter that serves as an additional check character in Italian IBANs. It is computed from the ABI, CAB, and account number using a specific algorithm defined by the Banca d'Italia. BankValidor verifies this letter automatically.
Can I use an Italian IBAN for international transfers?
Italian IBANs work for SEPA transfers within the 38-country European Economic Area. For transfers outside SEPA (e.g., to the US or Japan), you need your bank's SWIFT/BIC code in addition to the IBAN. Major Italian banks: Intesa Sanpaolo (BCITITMM), UniCredit (UNCRITM1), Banco BPM (BPMIITM1).
