The IBAN (International Bank Account Number) system in use by European Union member states was adopted by Bosnia And Herzegovina in 2007. On that date transition was made to the IBAN system and IBAN transfers started to directly reach customer accounts at our branches.
Providing an IBAN on transfers sent to our bank is of great importance in the speed and security of the service we provide to our customers.
