Calculate a Mauritius IBAN
Where to find it
On the account holder’s bank statement, in their online or mobile banking under account details, or on the invoice of a supplier who wants to be paid by transfer. If you only have the bank code and account number, ask the bank for the IBAN (or use the calculator above where it is offered), then confirm it with the beneficiary.
Questions
- How many characters is a Mauritius IBAN?
- 30, always starting with MU. In print it is written in groups of four: MU17 BOMM 0101 1010 3030 0200 000M UR.
- Can I pay a Mauritius IBAN by SEPA?
- No. Mauritius is outside SEPA: payments go by SWIFT, and you need the bank’s SWIFT/BIC code with the IBAN.
- Does a valid IBAN mean the account exists?
- No. The check digits prove the number is well-formed, which catches almost every typo. Only the beneficiary’s bank can confirm the account is open and in their name.
